...50 miles into the trip I hear a clank and I look over at the Backup monitor and see sparks flying all over the tow vehicle.... The receiver either broke the Hitch Pin or it came unlatched somehow. I now for a fact that it was put in right as I checked it twice. Weird thing is before we left I had looked at this extra hitch pin sitting on my garage floor like 4 different times as I passed it loading stuff into the Motorhome and on the last one I thought I should just throw this in with my tools.
First I am so glad the incident was no more serious than it was. It could have ended so much worse, as you know. Having said that, you should not be so certain that everything was correctly pinned up. Where did that extra pin on the garage floor come from? I bet it was left uninstalled somewhere in the set up.
You would be very wise to take pictures of the correct set up and make a check list to use every time you hook up.
