Review of Demco Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler - Standard Coupler - DM15945 Video

Yes, I do have the exact dimensions you need of the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part #DM15945. I have attached these for you below.

The BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more…

The hanger spacing for the #APT4 with 25-1/8" leaf springs is 27-3/4" on center. I have attached a drawing for your reference.
