Yes, I'm in Cloverdale. Appointment with a hitch shop in Langley. I also have Nexus and a US mailbox in Blaine. Just got back from 11 days down the Oregon coast.
My reasons for the hitch shop are:
-to ensure I'm getting the properly rated hitch. I've read that it's not good to overdo it or underdo it. I assumed to be conservative I'd get a higher rated hitch than I needed, but I've read lots of conflicting info online.
-to have them install the brackets on the trailer. Unless I can use my old brackets with the new hitch? I've heard they have to be adjusted exact.
Am I over thinking it?
