What size hole on hitch
What is the size of the hitch pin hole on a class III hitch? I tried a 5/8 but the pin doesn't fit, it's just a hair bigger that the 5/8 hole

Guess that drill bit wasn't really 5/8". 15mm maybe? Originally 5/8" but worn out maybe?- If this is something you did for an add on or modification, drill the hole out an additional 32nd of an inch to allow room to slide it in.
No set of holes on this stuff is normally so perfect that it has no slop to allow for slight variations in alignment, from surface dings to rust, you always want a little wiggle room. - The hitch is on the rv and the pin fits every other attachment i have, cargo baskets, motorcycle carrier, etc.. I am building a custom kayak carrier, and the pin, and other pins i have do not fit into the 5/8th hole i drilled into the square tubing
- It should be 5/8", either the hole is messed up or you bought a cheap pin that isn't to specification. Try the pin separately in the receiver and the shank if you haven't done that already.
