Off road swivel coupler upgrade on Scamp 13

My 2002 Scamp 13 came with a 45 degree A frame and a 7/8" coupler. The 45 degree frame ball couplers are no longer available and 50 degree couplers require cutting off the sides that make them less sturdy.

Since I am modifying my Scamp for off road travels with a new 22.5 degree down #10 Dexter axle and 14" wheels, I decided to install the swivel off road coupler from Cruisemaster, available in USA from U-haul, or on Ebay that would prevent trailer from decoupling at steep angles.

Install took about 3 hours and was very professionally done by Josh of Zabriskie Metal Fabricators in Lake Arrowhead, CA (909) 436-8205.
