Nothing ever happens - until it does. That is why I always walk around my trailer before pulling out.
Unlike usual I hooked up and drove solo today so I didn't have my normal flow. I checked my tail lights but didn't bother to walk around the trailer to check everything.
I took backroads to Cordorus State Park that had lots of ups and downs. I also subtracted a link from the chains on my WDH, which caused too much porpoising.
Patting myself on the back for getting into the site on the first try without my tow mirrors and DW guiding me, I walked back to the hitch and saw the handle/level still in place from setting the spring bars.
I can't believe it didn't fall off and go straight into a tire. This was a nice reminder to always make my checks.
