Check that hitch

Took a small weekend trip with the TT. While unhitching after arrival at out destination noticed a small amount of play in the hitch ball on the WDH. I installed the ball about 5yrs ago with a 12in crescent wrench and a small pipe wrench (yeah i know). Guess rough roads finally started to loosen it. Found a local hitch shop and in a matter of seconds with and impact was good to go at no charge. Just posting this a a reminder to always check your setup and safety equipment before, during, and after your travels. Safe travels to all!

    Good that you found it before bad things happened! There's a good reminder, folks, to check EVERYTHING before, during, and after. No such thing as not enough checks for trouble. Remember there's a reason for Murphy's Law: Anything that CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong. Sooner or later. And the trick is to catch it before total disaster strikes.
