Receiver hitch won't latch. Help!
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 act...

If all of the above fails, inspect the coupler (on the trailer tongue) in to which the ball nests. It is only stamped sheet steel. I had a similar experience a couple of years ago. I discovered that my wife had backed the car in to the trailer tongue a few weeks prior and had put a small dent in the coupler. It was just enough to keep the pin from latching. Had to grind & pound out the dent from the inside. Good luck, and let us know how this turns out.
