The drama continues. I'll start a new thread once I'm REALLY done with this purchase and take pictures of the WD hitch and such.

I picked the trailer up today. But while we were installing the WD hitch, we found that the handy little hooks for the safety chains were EXACTLY where the WD chain hooks want to be installed. They only had a Sawz-All and I didn't want to scar up the side of my new trailer, so I said I'd take it home and properly cut them off with my angle grinder.

Then we found that the shank was much too short, making the ball too high. My hitch is pretty high on my truck and I need another 4" of drop to get the ball where it should be. Ordered new shank...should be in on Wednesday.

THEN we found that the chains are too short when you're using the rather large WD setup. So I need to lengthen those, either by replacing or installing a few links. Haven't decided.

I pulled the WD hitch and brought it home on a regular bar/ball so I could fix the rest of the stuff.

On the upside, the Tekonsha P3 controller works GREAT. I'm not sure what an older controller feels like, but this one makes it feel like I don't even have a trailer mounted when braking. There's no jerk, no wierd drag, nothing. I actually had to make a quick stop on the way home and it felt wonderful. Better even than when I'm trailering my UNLOADED 5' x 10' single axle.
