Re: [A/S] Hitchin' up



Remember I have a Hensley so I have to thread the needle so to speak.

My bumper pull horse trailers always had a jack w/wheel   You could get close 
and simply wheel the trailer over the ball and then drop it. You didn't have 
to ever get directly under.

I wonder why travel tarilers don't have that wheel.... maybe because they are 
too heavy?  Maybe because they could run away?
Maybe because people aren't strong enough to move that weight?

Has anyone ever seen the wheel on a travel trailer?  It would seem like a 
Bambi, like Sherry's, wouldn't weigh much more than an old steel two horse 
trailer.

Also, a lot of horse trailer places carry a pivoting hitch ball thing.
You back up close and then you can pivot the bar the ball is on and put it 
under the trailer.

I searched the net and found examples of a jack/wheel... these for a boat.
