I'd call it the Mental Midget Hitch.

Well you can see he is a "quality" type of individual just by how well his vehicle is taken care of!

This from someone that obviously rode the short bus...!

I saw the Porsch into the building on Youtube. I had envisioned something totally different. The only thing that kept going through my mind was the Duke Boys, but I doubt the Porshe had one of those horns.

I don't get how you think that is likely to be ok. The upper receiver in those double decker receivers is for a bike rack or some similar accessory, not a full weight trailer. The trailer receiver is still supposed to be in the bottom receiver tube. He has two of them in use in the upper tube. The twisting and flexing action on that thing would be way outside of the original design, so no way to know what actual capacity it would handle safely. Even empty, that steel gooseneck trailer is not going to be light.

Yeah that's true. I didn't think about what those were. They would be weak.

Genius ! Good idea keeping the safety chains up out of harms way too !

I'm sure the light pigtail will stand in for the chains, if needed.

Oh Piney, are you still ticked at me?

Holding a grudge is hard on the :heart:

That would likely be OK just to move an empty trailer.

On his own property for sure, but not on the road. Amazingly he's actually using a receiver, not something just bolted to the rear step like some other posts here!

Well, yea, but he put together receiver adapters like tinker toys such that there is tremendous leverage against the receiver. One good jerk and it would pretzel.
