Actually, the trailer rolled back into the car. I was sitting at a stoplight. When the light turned green I started moving forward and the trailer hitch just broke off.

That was the last straw for the MH, trailer and RZR. I lost a lot of sleep thinking about how someone could have been killed if that car wasn't there and the trailer picked up momentum, rolling down that hill.

Lesson for others......... do not attach safety chains to your trailer hitch unless you have absolutely no other option. Also, find a solid place under the tow vehicle to attach your brake emergency cable. NEVER attach the emergency brake cable to the trailer hitch.
