this sounds like it is intended to deal with the looseness that i have in my plug. on my jeep liberty, because of the spare tire i have to use an extension. so witha little slop there,,,and a little slop in the plug itself,,,the dang thing flops around like a carp on the beach!
where do you find this wonderful product?

when i had a 40 foot motor home i carried them inside. but your dealling with something snaller,,,and made out of fiberglass. 1st the bikes will find a way to scratch up everything. 2nd you can't get in and out while they are in there,,,,how will you ever get those donuts out of the cupboard with out taking the bikes out first?

Here's a link to the ones sold on e-trailer. I use the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch... but it says to install it as it's pictured, which pulls the coupler UP to tighten. Seemed counter-intuitive to me, so I use mine upside down to tighten it down into the receiver. Works like a champ.
