Question:
I have one of your Lock N’ Roll articulating hitches and was thinking off putting one on another trailer I have. It’s a 20’ galvanized boat trailer that I converted to hold 2 Hobie Pro Angler kayaks. Would I have any safety or backing up issues trading in my ball hitch for one of these?

Expert Reply:
There will be no safety issues and you can absolutely back up with the Lock N Roll articulating coupler, no matter which one you use. Backing straight up won't be problematic and it will even be a bit easier to maneuver when turning due to the articulation. I'm not sure what coupler you need for your trailer, so here are all the trailer-side Lock N Roll couplers:
- 2" Channel: Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS528
- 2-1/2" Channel: Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS506
- 3" Channel: Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS508
- A-Frame: Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS504
- Flat Plate Mount: Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS514
- Adjustable Channel Mount: Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS502
