CS-50 Coupler Q&A

Post by Parlanaich »

Ahoy All,
Misleading header, as all I have is questions - hoping you have the answers.
My '06 Mac26 trailer is in need of a new coupler. The short of it is someone T-boned the trailer while it was parked, unhitched. The coupler is slightly bent with some internal misalignment. Just encountered difficulty finding a replacement part so:
1. Does anyone know of a supplier in Canada?
2. Is anyone experienced with replacing the UFP CS-50 coupler?
3. Can it be done without replacing the actuator?
Any and all help is accepted. Collect your reward at Slip 72.

cheers,
Rick

After my experience with trying to get some wheel lug nuts for the trailer,

you will most likely have to deal with Waymire Distribution, the only dealer, as recommended by the trailer manufacturer.

Thanks Phil,
That definitely looks like the better place to go. Least of which is being able to see the tech stuff.

Much appreciated,
cheers,
Rick
