Greetings,
While traveling on a recent trip, I noticed my tow safety pin came out. The one that is attached to the tow bar that connects the car to the Y part that is attached to the plate. The pin that slides in and has a hole in it, then the safety pin with a ring that is spring loaded and flips down to prevent it from coming out. The only way I can figure that coming out is one, I didn't flip it down and it fell out. Two someone purposely pulled the pin on me.
I remember putting the piece in and flipping it down. So the only thing I can think of is someone might have removed the pin to cause me trouble. I see no other way for that to have come out. We were on a rough road at the time. The pin that holds the tow bar to the car on one side was almost ready to fall out. I usually check things each time I stop but don't remember the pin not being there. I may have over looked it.
So I guess I am saying just be careful and inspect your rig when stopped.
