Glad I'm not alone. But I'm always amazed how lucky I've been many times--and not even known that I was.
This trailer has, I guess you call them legs attached to the ramps but they stop well sort of the ground when the ramps are lowered. It's an older trailer built by a commercial trailer manufacturer. My father and I jointly purchased it but use it very rarely.
Also if there ever was a mark on the hitch as to what size it was it's unreadable now. The seller told us it was a 2" and I pulled it home with a 2" ball that day I'm sure. My father has used it since then a couple times and me once before with a petty light but bulky load. On the way home yesterday he said, "you know I knew they said it was a 2 inch ball and it never occurred to me but I think my tow vehicle has a 2 5/16 ball on it." He previously owned a travel trailer that apparently took a 2 5/16. When he got this trailer he'd just backed up and it hooked up so he never looked at the ball. By dumb luck he had actually be using the correct size ball! Yesterday as I was inserting my tri-ball hitch into my receiver I "knew" the trailer took a 2" ball and my father even said to me, "you have the 2 inch ball right?" We locked it down, loaded up and away we went.
