JB, A long time ago, I had a similar problem with the tongue staying collapsed. It turned out that there was a gas strut inside the tongue that had failed. Once the gas strut was replaced, all was OK again.. FWIW... RO Yeah, my understanding is that it's a gas spring and a damper. The damper function seems to work (i.e., I don't have sharp bumps when the mechanism hits the stops under braking or acceleration, as was true in an early Eberle trailer we had with no damper). But I have no way of measuring it against a spec. I've had the damper/spring out before and it's accessible now so I've already emailed Rex about getting a replacement. I was chased inside by the rain yesterday while the tongue was spread out in the driveway so I haven't been able to examine the interior mechanism closely. Will report back what I find.
