I had no idea this was a thing. but thank YAH I was going slow when my hitch let go. I had been traveling 55-65 MPH for a few days..and at a red light a guy yelled out of his truck that I was "dragging"...as I pulled over the hitch let loose all the way and slid into a ditch after banging into the rear of my RV. I am so glad nobody was hurt..the break away cable was attached to the hitch..and that trailer would have been a missile if it broke on the highway. I called AAA to get the trailer, just to find out they cover nearly every type trailer EXCEPT one towing a car...go figure. I was able to get the trailer back with the help of a friend and will be figuring out a repair with a local shop soon....any advice on how to repair the missing "chunk" out of the frame would be appreciated. I was thinking to just get the sheared metal welded back in, then add another bar of metal to the frame and weld it in, then bolt a new class 5 hitch to it... any and all input appreciated.
