 Trailer Tongue Stand Problem Solved
I don't know about the rest of you but i always have trouble with the pins on my trailer tongue, they always are a lot of trouble pushing them in and trying to open or close the tongue stand, so I figured out a simple solution as detailed below.

This is a trailer tongue stand off the trailer, the two pinsets (on Left) are what comes standard on the stand. I eliminated them completely.

the "coupler snapper Pin" (the official name) is a 1/4" X # 3 1/2" pin with a safety catch wire (retail $2.99).
e.jpg When the stand is attached to the trailer, you simply use the "coupler snapper Pin" in place of the original pinsets.
the same "coupler snapper Pin" is used in either the open or closed position.
it is extremely easier than the original setup.
OK ..... Now the naysayers can tell me why i should not do this.

When I bought my used RT-622 that's how it was equipped. It's a very simple, functional solution.

I wish someone had shared that with me a long time and a couple of pinched fingers ago

Nothing wrong with that pin. It is exactly the same as the one I use to hold the retaining collar in place on the bulldog hitch on my 6 x 8 utility trailer.
Those who say " I can't" will always be right.

I’ve had mine set up like that for years and I also have a strap that we attach to the tongue to pull it around with. If you just grab the tongue it is easy to scrape the heck out of the underside of the trailer.
