Just a friendly recommendation - if you have a locking hitch pin over a very few years old, replace it. When we left home, towing our Jeep behind the MH, the Husky locking pin was fine. When we got to Wyoming, and I tried to remove the tow bar from the back of the MH, the key turned freely in both directions, but the lock would not un-lock. It obviously needed replacing, but the removal was a bear. I figured the pin itself was hardened, so a hack saw was out of the question. The best solution appeared to be drilling out the lock. We started out with a 3/16 bit, and then enlarged the hole with 1/4 and then 5/16 bits. At this point, larger pieces of the lock started hitting the ground, and after another 10 minutes or so, enough had been drilled out that it came apart. I don't know what the original problem was, but a new locking pin every 3 years or so sounds like a sure bet. Amazon has a good selection, including some very high quality items.
