Good afternoon everyone,
Again I'm appealing to you for help and advice. Unfortunately I'm still have a LOT of troubles getting hitched my PP 1400. The same situation like started 3 (!) month ago - the stinger of the hitch bar would start to slide in, but get hung up. The Yoke was adjusted and is parallel to the A-frame, but hitch head is still tilted down and does not allow the stinger to smoothly enter to the head (please see attached photos). The space between the Yoke and A-frame is 3/4 in, but Sean said that is OK, since I have the trailer's inverted coupler. Last Friday in the dealership we spent more than 2, 5 hours for connection. The engineers of the RV dealer said that it seems as if the hitch head does not work correctly and does not keep the horizontal level. Per Sean recommendation and due to the design of my trailer I'm using the LCI's Straptek Weight Tension Technology Kit instead of the 3P weight distribution jack (please see my previous photos) and it should be no tension during the hung up. However I and the RV dealer's staff were able to connect only after replacement the hitch’s cover with a yellow plate (from the adapter set), which allowed us to fix the head from movement and use the 2 tons jack to lift/support the head.
At the end of September we set off on a long trip with numerous camping parking and disconnects truck from the PP hitch, and I just do not know how I can use the PP hitch it in this condition. PLEASE, may be someone can help me and send your recommendation? Please HELP!!! Thank you in advance for your time and support.
Best regards, LS
