I have a drop down reciever that slides into the motorhome reciever and then the tow bar slides into the drop down, hence I have two pin points. The holes are NOT eaten out, but I do have a enough play that I get some rattle in the two recievers. Is there a way to minimize or eliminate this play/rattle? ThanksBrian

Roadmaster makes a Quiet Hitch.. From Roadmaster website: Quiet Hitch stops sway and wander before it begins. Quiet Hitch eliminates any free play between the receiver and the tow bar (or bike rack, ball mount or whatever you insert) for a solid, seamless connection. Consistent pressure keeps your towing combination tracking straight through crosswinds, curves and sudden maneuvers — all with considerably less effort on your part.They are not the only one who has such a part.

Blue Ox also makes one for their tow bars.

I used 2 to 4 rounds of plastic tape to help with this.. If you take it off and on this won't work, I leave mine on all the time.. Mike Mathews..

I was getting some wear with the drop hitch and installed 2 of the Roadmaster devices at $25 each.Mine was getting harder to remove due to the hole flare that was developing.

In my case I have a bicycle carrier mounted on the custom modified drop receiver.. Thus I really do not want it "Rattelling" around as it would toss the bike about rather firmly.The Blue Ox Hitch Immobilizer fixed it solid (Only it was called an Anti-Rattle clip when I bought it) The custom modBlue ox welded a "tong" on the top of it for the hitch mount bicycle carrier to fit on. Works great. They can do wonders when you visit the factory with your problem.. Nice campground there too.
