Replacement Recommendation for Atwood Actuator on a 2014 T@B Little Guy Travel Trailer

Question:

Hello, have a 2014 T@B Little Guy tear trailer. The surge brake actuator needs to be replaced. Do you have a rebuild kit for it? The Information on the surge brake actuator is a Atwood Lot#1403 with part numbers - 4239252 and 4223766. If there is not a rebuild kit for it what surge brake actuator would be a suitable replacement? Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thank you,

The Atwood couplers have been discontinued for a bit so you'll be hard-pressed to find any replacement parts for them. We don't have any replacement parts for them anymore so I recommend just replacing the whole coupler with something that's currently being manufactured.

I wasn't able to find exact specs on your current coupler but the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR is a good option to check out. This is designed around 3" wide trailer tongues and is rated for 7K and installs using 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" Grade-5 bolts (which aren't included). It doesn't include a reverse lockout but you can add one with the part # DM11993.
