| Is it possible to switch out the flat tongue brace, stabilizer, what ever it is called, with a wheel so that it is easier to hook up? Maybe one would be able to push trailer over just a tad to put it in ball hitch? |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | My two horse GORE came with a wheel, I asked for it to be switched to a flat stand.... The wheel didn't allow for enough clearance when crossing holes or humps... Even if you do have a wheel, it will have to be a mighty light trailer to move by hand. If it's a tandem axle, you'll probably only be able to move it back and forth, no side to side. If you're parked on dirt, gravel or grass, it ain't going to move anyway... Keep practicing your backing skills... I've been working on mine for about 47 years now. |

Maybe one would be able to push trailer over just a tad to put it in ball hitch? A backup camera is both cheaper and safer to use...http://www.etrailer.com/Electronics/Swift-Hitch/04928.html |
