Location: Not far enough north!
Check out eastern marine dot com. They should have what you want.

I would look to see if all the pins on the atwood line up correctly with the ufp. Assuming you're changing out the entire tongue assembly as obviously just the actuator itself will be different brand to brand.

I have the ufp on my trailer and a friend just got one with the attwood actuator. In my opinion the ufp seems like a better system. The attwood sits kind of on top of the frame and pivots. Whereas the ufp is inside the frame and slides straight back.
