Check your RV hitches when traveling

A racer friend of mine competing in the No Pro Kings TV show had his trailer disconnect from the RV. It had a road toad on it for this year but did not last year. It appears the trailer hitch became fatigued in last year's travels and updated for safety but was to late. Left Az and they were 1 hour from the Maryland dragstrip when it broke and sent the trailer up an embankment and rolled the stacker on its side. Trailer is trash, car and pit car has minimal damage. Just a FYI

If you are using a ball it doesn't hurt to change the every other year they take a real beating and most are just low grade cast iron.
