How in the world could this have happened???
While at the Goshen Rally, I bought a new Reese hitch, rated for 25K.
Yesterday, I hooked up, verified jaws were closed with a flashlight as I always do, locked them then backed out of my space at the dog show and pulled about 1/2 mile to the exit gate. The exit gate was a small hill that arced to the right then left to the stop sign. As I started up, I heard a horrific noise and stopped immediately.
My trailer had come out of the hitch and fallen on my truck!
The pin box was immediately under the hitch. When I moved the truck and went to rehitch, I found the jaws still closed and locked!
What in the world?????
Thanks in advance for any ideas...
