Having been on the end of a "lucky trailer" please also check the
contruction of the trailer. If the steel used to attach the trailer
hitch to the trailer is shall we say a bit on the light side, you will
end up towing the trailer and glider on the top hitch and the brake
pipe.

I think I was within 10miles of losing the trailer as the tow hitch
had rusted away from the trailer. When we put it on the car the trailer
seemed fine. When we un hitched the story was not so good.

It boils down to this "Is the trailer departs from the rear of the car,
or pulls the car to the side (due to a blow out) it may kill somebody"

I do not want to be responsible for driving a trailer that departs and
kills somebody. That's the bottom line, not have a just written of a
glider?

Do something about this madness before somebody gets killed
