• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I purchased an RT 622 trailer with tongue stand. I'm miffed as to the locking mechanism as it's a &^%$$## to unlock. I believe the are two button release one needs to push in and then "pull" down the tongue and then push/bend it back toward the trailer....this bugger doesn't budge ...my first and only attempt went ok Now I'm stuck ...Suggestions?
 
Try spraying oil around the buttons. Some have removed the buttons and used a pin in its place. The kind that you can get at trailer accessory places.
 
Remove stand. Look inside, see the flat springs holding the buttons. Remove all of that. Useless. Now, go to any RV store. Find a pin with a retaining clip that fits. Get one. Go home, reinstall the tongue support. Insert pin. Rejoice! We have had one for years. Like 10; as the buttons failed the first time they got wet!
 
LOL ...I'm an idiot....only had the trailer a few weeks ...when I purchased I saw the two sets of push buttons...one to release in the down position the other set releasing in the up position...I struggled in the garage NOT remembering there were two set of buttons. I took it apart now I see the useless set up inside....I'll get the pin. Thanks
