The hitch ball and spring bars (only on load- distributing hitches) are attached to it.
(See the Balance and Hitch Adjustment sections) These load-distributing hitches use special equipment to distribute the tongue load to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer to help stabilize the tow vehicle. This hitch is commonly used on recreational trailers.Ī load-distributing hitch is used for heavier models such as utility trailers, boat trailers, and travel trailers. This hitch consists simply of a ball attached to the rear of the tow vehicle and a coupler (socket) at the tip of a tongue or A-frame attached to the front of the trailer. The ball and coupler hitch is used on a wide variety of tow vehicle and trailer combinations.
Conventional travel trailers, including folding camping trailers.There are three basic types of trailers which mostly differ in the way they are hitched: The tow vehicle should also have enough power to climb mountain grades without excessive loss of speed. If the trailer is properly equipped, it can perform safely under a variety of driving conditions. The tow vehicle must be a proper match for the trailer. The weight considerations described on pages 30 and 31 are very important to safe towing. However, a tow vehicle and a trailer form an articulated (hinged) vehicle which presents an additional set of concerns. People who tow trailers share the same safety concerns as other RV drivers. The electrical plug is properly installed.Spring bar hinges are tight with the safety clips in place (load equalizer or weight distributing hitches).The pin securing the ball mount to the receiver is intact.Perform a safety inspection before each trip.
