[a/s] Re hitch - from Ruth & Dan
We need to find out what kind of hitch we were using for the insurance to replace it. It
came with the trailer and the folks we bought it from are out of town this week.
It is one strong hitch though - with the anti sway bars - the "aluminum twinkie" 22' 1966
a/s pulled like it was hardly there. The trailer did not break loose from our infinity
in the accident. It had to be unhitched to be towed from the scene. The hitch shaft
that the ball is on is bent at about 20 degrees off verticle now though. One of the sway
bars broke loose when we hit the parked car and that's why it finally jacknifed. How the
back end of the trailer hit the back end of the car at the side of the road is something
I don't understand fully.
