The bent 5/8" pin makes sense. Any idea how heavy the fellow forum member was towing?
You do have one of the heavier trailers regarding tw. What is your ready to roll trailer weight?
I do not recall the forum members TT weight. It was not over 10,000# though, that I remember.
My camper weighs loaded with water when I have to haul it, 9,900# with a 1,600# loaded TW. Or 16% loaded TW. I have a tongue mounted bike rack that adds 110# to the TW with 2 adult bikes
It is a rear living area layout. That nice big rear window and swivel rockers does not do much for counterbalancing the front of the camper. This floor plan loads cargo over the axles and towards the tongue for the most part. The good news is my fresh tank is right over the front axle so it is neutral for all practical purposes to TW when full or empty.
Forgetting the adapter sleeve...oh yeh. That is why it now lives with a spare pin behind the back seat.
