My son has been hauling cars on my car hauler for awhile from Tenn to Az and back. He got here about a week ago from Tenn to my home in South East Az, Today he was going to take a car to Phoenix. About 1/2 hour after he left, he called and told me that the trailer had come off the hitch. Going about 55 an a rural paved road he hit a bump and the trailer came off of the hitch. The trailer tongue hit the road and scraped the chain link where they attach to the tongue almost in two. Fortunately the chains kept the trailer straight. We got it back on and the chains fixed and he continued on his way. We got complacent and didn't double check the hook up. We have hauled cars and my 2N many times. So, no matter how many times you haul, ALWAYS double check. Another thought, I have a utility trailer with only one chain. No way that trailer will stay straight if it comes off. Another chain will be added tomorrow. To keep this farm related, the first hay was cut on a farm close to us yesterday.
