Here are some pictures from my first long trip ( whooping 11 miles
) to Chatfield State Park in Colorado. I went there mainly to practice backing up which I think I failed miserably. The good news is I managed to park the TT at the storage after about a half hour of struggle. Luckily storage space next to mine was empty. I had to watch only for one side. If not for my wife guiding me, I could have never done this alone. Okay here come the questions
. I had a lot of noise coming from the WDH which I was feeling very embarrassed. A quick search reveled that it is normal for the equil-i-zer to make that noise especially when it is new. However I noticed a significant metal shaving in the hitch ball. Is this normal?. I have noticed some guys having shiny balls ( I mean hitch balls ), have they never towed anything or am I having a wrong setup. I also had a hard time separating the TV from the TT. The hitch ball was stuck in the TT (even after releasing the latch). The WDH setup was done by the dealer.
