I went out this morning to pick up a Space Duel. Hooked up the trailer last night, checked it again this morning before leaving and all was good. Got gas and checked it again, everything wonderful.
About 10 minutes later, I am doing about 60 on the freeway in the pouring rain, when someone slams on their brakes in front of me. I apply the brakes, then accelerate and hear a "clang" sound. About 30 seconds later, the truck starts handling like ass. I look in the rear view mirror, and the trailer is out of control!!! Luckily I was able to gain control of the truck and pull over. The pin holding the Hitch and Ball to the frame of the truck broke off and the only thing holding the trailer to the truck were the chains!
Scared the crap out of me!
Anyone else have similar stories?
