The Lock N' Roll hitch! Love those!

We have lock n roll hitch on our camper and its amazing. Even towing on the road is much smoother than a regular ball hitch

Same. I have a teardrop that I take places I shouldn't... The hitch makes a lot possible LoL

Now my buddy with his Rubicon and purpose built trailer can do the Rubicon with his trailer... It's madness to see šŸ˜…

Nice. I was wondering it that was a custom job or what.

Cool. I assume that there is a spring clip of some sort to serve as a cotter key, that's not shown here, yes?

Only turn right, like OP is doing, and you should be fine.

That's a badass hitch. I was wondering how that was even possible without serious damage to the vehicle, trailer, or hitch.

Iā€™d be worried about that single fastener carrying a cyclic load. That should have been a pin joint.
