hey folks, a new boarder just bought a GN with a hitch problem. The pin is not ailgned with all the holes. It goes in halfway. What should he do? Can he place a heavy bolt inside instead of pin?? Any suggestions on how to get it fixed?

Are you talking about the latch that locks the hitch on the ball?

I had one that would do that....it had been tweeked a bit and I tapped, the area where the pin w/the spring attached to the trailer, with a hammer and realigned it. Don't hit it too hard...you don't want to stress the metal. a few taps in well planned placed realigned it. check for stress cracks and if found you will need to have a welder look at it for safety purposes.
