Equalizer hitch failure
This was our second trip with our new Zinger 27RL and the new equalizer hitch that we purchased when we picked up the trailer. The first trip was about 20 miles each way to overnight at a local RV park with no issues. This trip was about 200 miles, from our home to Cherokee, NC. No issues were noted during traveling.
When we arrived home this afternoon, we noticed a huge chunk missing from the right side socket that receives the square bar into the hitch. Upon closer inspection, we noticed 3 more cracks in the metal of the same receiver. A large crack was also observed on the left receiver socket.
I have already spoken with my dealer (Camping World Greensboro, NC) and they assured me they would replace it, but I want to know why it happened first. Is it a defect in the metal, or improper installation?
