Newbie’s and Veteran Podder’s – Please read & check your hitches,

1.) Some R-pod models have faulty/bad couplers and latches for hitches.

1.)   2.)  2” balls do fit properly in some couplers.

2.)   3.)  Some latches do not properly cover 3/4” of the ball. 

4.) Trailer will come off ball.

4.)  5.) Some “NEW” 2016 trailers have a new safer hitch design. I’ve attached picture.

 

I have towed everything from triple axels to single axel trailers. I now have a dented bumper and damaged trailer. I have attached pictures.

 I went to a dealership today and took pictures of some “UN-SOLD” R-Pods trailers with older hitch design with damaged hitche. I attached a picture.

Design I have and has come off ball several time. My father builds trailers and said: it's a poor design and he won't put that hitch on any trailer he builds.
