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. |
1)My rv dealer told me to put a
VERY SMALL AMOUNT of axle grease on my WD bars where they make contact with the chained bracket. Noise will not be eliminated just minimized.
2)Put a
little axle grease on the ball. Shiny balls are for people who dont tow anything.
3)When you unlatch the hitch and raise the trailer, if the vehicle raises also just stand on the bumper and bounce once or twice and the ball will drop down.
Congrats on your new TT, looks great.
