I went to pick an empty trailer up for someone else and duly clipped it on and drove off, I had only driven about 2 hundred yards and to my horror in the mirror I saw the trailer career off into the pavement on the offside !! As luck would have it there was nothing for it to hit and nothing coming the other way !
When I looked into it the trailer hitch was an old 2 inch one and I had a 50mm tow ball that is slightly bigger and it obviously didn't clip over. It works the other way but rattles like mad. I cant remember when we changed over ?
