Interesting enough. I wonder how much of a pain the A frame mount unit would be to install?
Looks like the 2 5/16" that I'd need is $135, but can be found a little cheaper if you shop. I've got a 7x14 enclosed full of equipment & tools for a seamless gutter business that I am hooking up to several times a week in season. Not sure if I have the time to leave the trailer at a shop to burn the old coupler off and install this one. On another forum I found on Google, someone mentioned having to shim the sides before welding the new one on. I think maybe I'll stick with the old fashioned way for now.

Looks pretty neat....If I were in the market for a new trailer I would consisder one. For now, the rear camera I installed is taking the quess work out of coupling up.

I bought a hitch last year that slides into the receiver like any other. It's branded Ford, but I'm sure someone else made it.
It will slide out 3 - 4 inches as well as swivel side to side a few inches. I can usually get close enough to hook up.
The one I have can be found here.

I didn't see that one coming - I'm still laughing.

Those are made (possibly just sold out of, I don't know) right here in town and I have yet to see anyone with one of them. It could be the greatest thing since sliced bread - just has'nt caught on around here.
