Anyone Have Diagrams To Build A Trailer Hitch?
« on: March 03, 2019, 08:58:00 pm »
My son (The Real Bud) is talking about building a trailer hitch for his C14.  Has anyone done this and still have the drawings/plans to aid in building this?  If not any suggestions?
Thanks!

no diagram, but feel free to use the photos I did when I had to re-work the $400 hitch I bought new, to make it "work"...

best of luck, I'm sure he can "fab" something using the same mounting points, and do it better than what "I bought"..

The hitch I built is part of the trailer & trailer is single wheel. When the trailer is removed there is no sign of a hitch. Have only made some test runs so far, but all seems okay. Soon as it warms up we'll start making some short camping trips & make sure all is good, before we head out long distance.

Who knows it may turn out to be a pile of scrap metal!  :??:

I thought you had that thing closer to completion when we talked at RWTW last summer??

There MAY have been alcohol involved.  :beerchug:

I'll be curious to see some pics when you get'er done Cliffy!  :great:

It's complete Nate, just haven't actually used it yet. I'll see about getting some pictures.

after "thunking" I remembered something I had read back when I was doing mine...

Mind you, he used it for a Uni-Go single wheeler, but adaptation are what we all love (or hate if they don't adapt well..)

best of luck...
