It dragged the hitch through the dirt while loading, but I didn't think anything of it. The pin must have slowly worked its way out during the next 200 miles. I'm looking for a locking system.

If it was anyone else, the road would have exploded with asphalt shards going through a school bus of kids. Receiver hitch slid out, so assume that pin let go or popped and the hitch just worked its way out. I always wonder if I should lock the receiver hitch with that pin, and the answer seems to be yes I should, until it breaks.<br /> Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540366107857952203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-49957833087357951722015-03-24T18:53:13.337-04:002015-03-24T18:53:13.337-04:00What's life without a little adventure?

I did that back with an RV that I had at the time so I could see the Jeep I was towing. I got mine at Wal-Mart.

Good deal - glad you made it. I'd have been scared as hell when you found your trailer was missing.<br /><br />Its great when you find a honest garage. My wife has one as well that could have charged her a bundle last Friday. She was traveling when she heard a loud rumbling from her passengers side front tire. Thought it was going flat and checked - nope tire was fine. Omigosh, bad bearing - I need to get this fixed now. So she limped to the garage, who could not find the source - bearing was fine when they lifted the car. So the man drives it, pronounces it fine. My wife said drive it about 70 mph and you will hear it. So he does that and he DOES hear it. You know what it was ? The wheel well liner was lose and was vibrating against the panel. You don't run into that when you use horses . . . :^)<br /><br />The mechanic figured he learned a lesson and except for tightning the screws, he wasn't out anything but time. No charge - that was awesome of him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
