I think you're right. And what is really funny is that I don't even need one - I just ordered it for resale value and just in case I moved to a different house where I would need it. I have never even pulled the pins, let alone swung the hitch.
I did some research about the rust because I am wondering how old this crack is and it sounds like pristine, uncoated metal such as this crack can rust within hours - does anyone know if that is right? It has been 100 - 110 degrees with afternoon thunderstorns since we returned form the Jubilee, so there has been plenty of moisture, even though I live in the desert. When I saw the rust I thought the crack had to be older than I thought, but maybe not.
Anyway, we're bummed out because we were supposed to go to Wyoming tomorrow to get out of the heat and now we are stuck here waiting for a repair. We may even go camping in a tent (gasp!) .
