The Equal-I-zer hitch has a history of the side brackets, the ones that the bars lift up onto, sliding on the trailer "A" frame. This could have caused your problem.

SteveH: that's what I think happened based on the whole experience. Do you know if its an adjustment issue or where I could get more info? Thanks for your reply. -Meg

It's an issue with getting the brackets tight enough so they won't slip without bending them.

There is a fairly recent thread in the hitch section about Equal-I-zer hitches, and I believe folks discuss what they have done to help prevent the problem.

Of course, the ultimate solution would be to weld the brackets to the "A" frame, but most are not willing to do something so "permanent" to a hitch/trailer, although the Andersen hitch crowd seem to be willing to do anything to get that hitch to work.
