I couldn't believe the flex in his connection as he was traveling down the freeway.
Could have been the extension, but could have been the play in all of the parts. Many hitch parts fit together loosely. I hand fit mine with welds to keep them from having so much movement.
As far as driving too fast goes, I'm still amazed at how fast people pull stuff and what they pull with. There was a wreck just outside of Spokane. We didn't stop since they had enough help, but the trailer seemed to be almost twice as long as the SUV pulling it with both upside down beside the road. BTW, the trailer had at least one slide, too.
On another trip we saw two guys traveling together driving down 90 and then later on the side of the road. We could help but to note that they were pulling the wrong trailers. The full size pickup had a tear drop trailer and the SUV was pulling a 24-26 trailer. Go figure!
