Which is the best coupling for a 50mm towball?
A range of trailer couplings for UK & European 50mm towballs, from budged pressed steel couplings for small camping trailers to complete hydraulic braked couplings for heavy duty trailers You have no items to compare.
How do you put a coupler on a trailer hitch?
My new routine involves attaching the wheel, leaving it up high off the ground, unhooking chains, 7 pin (all of this after chocking) and then pulling the hood up manually and back while there is no pressure on the coupler coming from underneath from the jockey wheel post assembly.
Why is my trailer hitch not fully engaged?
I was a little shocked when I hauled my trailer back home to Michigan from Ohio as the dealer had hooked the trailer up for me, locked the hitch down (or so I thought) and when I did a walk around at our first stop I noticed that the hood portion of the hitch was not fully engaged and down onto the top of the tongue!

What to do if your tow trailer has no power?
If there is no power at all on the tow package wires and the fuses and relays are all good, you may want to take your truck a local dealer to inspect it. If the wiring on your vehicle is okay, then the issue is on the trailer. The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces.
What causes a trailer hitch to not release?
Binding can occur if the trailer and tow vehicle are not on level ground or when the tow vehicle is level and the trailer is not (or the other way around). Using the trailer jack may also help. If there is too much weight still on the ball, it may not release.
Why is my trailer coupler stuck on the hitch ball?
If there is too much weight still on the ball, it may not release. Raising the jack may free it. Make sure the coupler is compatible with the ball size you have. The compatible ball sizes are usually stamped into the metal of the coupler on the top.
Can a pin be inserted into a trailer hitch coupler?
Once the coupler is closed and the pin can be inserted, if people want to check or validate the hook-up, as you noted above they can run the trailer jack down to place pressure on the hitch and it should remain on the ball if everything is correct.
