We are not sperstitious but it must be done the same way *every time* we are hauling a trailer.. I start by sitting in the drivers seat and turning the key. Then, and only after touching the seat I leave the truck and check the tires and drivers side, move to the back of the truck and check the hitch, chains, locks, spare tire, etc.. Moving around the back of the trailer I look at the tires, doors, lights and come around to the passenger side where I check all again. Finally I come around the front of the truck and look of obstructions in front of the wheels, leaking fluids, etc. get back in and drive away. The Mouse (my youngest) does the same in the opposite direction. When I say every time, I mean it. We do a walk around in the driveway and go down to the bottom of the hill for gas, and do another walk around three minutes later before leaving the station. If God forbid anything ever happens to a trailer of mine, I will know I did everything I could.. |

You are so fortunate to own a trailer and a truck strong enough to pull it. ;-) ;-) Once again, reason saves me from thinking too badly of my neighbors. I realized that my trailer was the only one there. Thus, the incident probably was NOT about skin color and was only about one person being a jerk. Still a nasty thing to do. |

No offense, but I am not impressed by the visage or description of your belongings, your delight in slapping stuff together, and in some of the risks you take or want to take. I've never used a just a pin to secure the hitch to the receiver. I use a hitch-receiver lock, basically a solid steel bar with a keylock on one end. They're not expensive. I use one like this: http://tinyurl.com/pxlzxw |

It could have been kids playing around, or it could have vibrated loose. I use a locking pin on my ball mount/receiver. Doing a thorough check out of the trailer, hitch and lights before driving off is an excellent idea. I once had a hitch ball start to vibrate loose after a 300 mile run even though it had a lock washer and had been well tightened with a wrench. Weird things sometimes happen to heavily loaded components. |

I was able to safely stop and my son walked back looking for the pin which he found. The little hinge pin for the metal tab had apparently snapped, the tab fell out and the main pin then worked it's way out. It was old and probably rusted, but I don't use that type anymore. Eisboch |
