I have a 2004 Honda Goldwing GL1800 Lehman Monarch and CSC Escapade trailer I've owned since new. Most of the time the front of my trailer hits going over medium size curbs. It doesn't matter if I go straight into the curb or go at them at an angle. I've took a couple bad hits to the front bottom going at it at an angle. It doesn't matter if I'm loaded or not. My shocks are great and the suspension on the trike is great. Yes, I do go over curbs, etc slowly. Only solution I can think of would be to find a hitch that has some rise to it but, then I need to consider the trunk opening. Is there anyone that has a different style ball mount other than the oem chrome straight one? If you do and/or have any ideas for correction, please let me know. Thanks. Ray
