[A/S] hitch pins



Hi Hunter:    At the Free Wheelers hitch up seminars at the Int'l rally  for the
past many years that is something we stress about checking the hitch
pins.....tis is a much better idea to use a locking hitch pin with the hitchbar
going into the receiver and just a simple pin at the coupler    ......using a
padlock at the coupler makes it impossible to do a quick release if you need to
separate the tow vehicle from the trailer  like in case of a fire.....we have
heard many horror stories about trailers coming loose from having a hitch pin
pulled.                       Pearl in SoCal
