Before we start hooking up your trailer – I believe it is a good idea to get to know your hitch and understand what all the parts do. In this article, we will be looking at the Titanium Poly block Hitch, the same that is included as standard with most of our trailer. 

There are a number of other hitch options that we can offer, but this is a great hitch for first timers and seasoned campers alike. It is very easy to hook up with a 70 degree up and down motion and a complete 360-degree turn.
