i'm suprised the trailer would un hitch with that sort of damage :shock: :?

i'd have a look at the condition of the hitch before using it again :)

It'll be an insurance job so no doubt will be getting fitted with a new hitch, but i get your point. We carry some heavy loads so better safe than sorry.
