Hitch pin broke

Hello all,
Going from the Los Angeles area up to Reno, NV. Got 1 mile from the end of the ride when the hitch pin broke and the Fiat Abarth driver's side hit the passenger side of the MH. Luckily we were not going over 30mph but it did damage both vehicles.
Question is does anyone know of anyone that can examine the Blue Ox tow bar to see if it's still ok or maybe need work? Or where can we can get the base plate looked at and/or fixed or if we need to replace it we will. Not much information on their site so thought I might ask here to see if anyone has anyone that might be able to look at things.

Thanks all!!
Christine
  • I would call BlueOx directly and try to speak with their technical help. They may be very interested to hear how their part failed.

    JMHO...I'd call the insurance company asap.

    Those pins should not fail like that. I don't think I would trust the set up again until it was inspected professionally.

    Thanks!
