Re: [RC] trailer hitches? - Truman Prevatt

I would worry more about the bars that hold hitches in the recievers breaking or more likely the pins that go through these bars that keep them in place dropping out than the actual ball neck breaking.  I've known more than one person discover that the pin that holds the bar in place missing. I wouldn't take much for the bar to work out and the whole hitch to come out of the reciever.

As Cheryl suggested always do a check before you take off.

I have seen many reports of trailer hitches coming loose or failing in some
way, resulting in a "loose" trailer.

How much do the safety chains help?   Do they break?  Do most states require
them?  How many people use them?   How are they hooked up?
