I have had 2 HA. Each broke the black part where the hitch bars go. I use 14,000 lb bars. I had a local shop re-weld them and add a reenforcement metal part. I have looked at other HA that other campers have and have noticed one more that was cracked. I suggested that he repair his HA before it broke all the way.
I'm using 1400 lb bars also.
I have my buddy checking his tomorrow. We both use the HA, but I don't think he has as heavy bars as I do.
Got any pics of how it was reinforced? I've also been reading that the propride hitch has this area reinforced on their model. I wonder if it holds up any better.
We'll see what Hensley has to say about it tomorrow. Luckily nobody hurt and this was my last camping trip of the season. So I'm not stuck anywhere or in a rush.
