      @MuttonChops@tybladesmith@Sharon_is_SAM and @jgram2 .............. I got a chance to go look at the coupler on my camper this afternoon.  Based on what is stamped in very small print in the metal on the top of the straight tongue coupler, it appears to be Part Number 80186 and is a Class 4 coupler capable of 700 lbs. of tongue weight.  The design is identical to #80082 and #80083, which are Class 3 couplers.  Not sure what to make of that.......identical in design and appearance, but different weight capacities????  [NOTE:  I also found a 2003 Atwood factory document, which indicates that #80186 is a Class 3 coupler, but mine is stamped Class 4.)  The channel width (measured from the inside space of the channel) is 2"; the exterior width on mine is approximately 2 5/8".

      Although I could not clearly read the rated weight capacity stamped on my coupler, the document I found on the Internet indicates that the capacity is 6,000 lbs., which is consistent with what I believe the stamp on mine reads.  Significantly greater than what I would expect for a T@B 320S.

      Thanks again for everyone's input.  (Greg)

    I am looking at new hitch arrangement. Do you also know the width of the frame arms?
