What is the law what is safe

In Ga. there wont be any problem as long as the trailor stays attached to the truck. You are laible for anything that happens associated with the trailor. I would load test the fix you are perposing to a least 200% of the WLL (working load Limit)Ex- 5000lb WLL 10,000 test this would cominstate for any shock load you may experence on the road such as curbs, bumps etc. A trailor comming loose from a jury rig would be a hell of a law suit. I you had a load test you may beat the negligent part of the suit.

That is the trick with trailors, as long as they stay attached you are good to go. Several ways to test, wire rope the hitch off to a tree, or other expendable item and jack up on the hitch use a dyno for a read out. Any kind of pull test (with tractor) that would give you a warm fuzzy feeling about pulling the trailor. I have pulled trailors for 1000s of miles always factory installed sleeve hitches, chains, locks and what ever else I could attach to help in case of loss. The U-Hauls have strap on hitches. What you have in mind seems to be above average for any tow rig. It just when you are tooling down the road at 70+ that peice of mind is worth alot.

OK I see now that is the $64 question. Maybe a phone call to see if there is any restrictions? I am with you I dont think they would even look. I am sure they have Insurance. That might be another good question. I have rented equipment an loaded on my trailor but they never questioned the hitch. I guess after they saw all the crap I had it attached with it did not concern them.
