Hi,

Hoping someone can help. I have had this trailer a month or so with no prior issues. But went to hook up tonight and I can't get the hitch to latch. It sets down on the ball fine. The latch actually goes down to. But the latch is too far forward to latch into the grooves to lock into place. The pin therefore won't line up either. It looks as if the latch is just too short. But it has worked fine in the past. What am I missing?

I will attempt to attach pics.

Any help is much appreciated!
