Does anybody see more utility and usefulness in this design than I

Is it possible that the hex bolt is supposed to be tightened up once
the right angle is found?

Maybe a call to Atwood would clear things up.


Only time I had the slamming is when there was not fluid in the lines. And
then only when starting and stopping. The shock is to just damping the
motion of the brakes being applied, not for going down the road. When the
trailer is off the tow vehicle, stick the stinger from the receiver hitch,
if that is what your using, and move the front of the hitch unit up and
down. Should only go a short ways before engaging the brakes. Jack up the
trailer and see if the sheel spins when the brakes are applied. Then fix
the brakes.
