carrying my truck on a trailer behind bus

[bobofthenorth]

Most of the hitch failures I seen are caused by the installer not attaching a point to pull the load tongue weight is just one step I ran a strap under my engine to the rear bulkhead.
So many of the buses just pull from the bolts and the hitch wrong way to do it IMO

EXACTLY.

I've seen a ton of bad hitch designs on busses.  A hitch design needs two distinct components:
- load carrying ability
- towing ability

You need to think about horizontal load as well as the vertical load and as Clifford has already pointed out, pulling against the threads on the attaching bolts is just flat wrong.  If the design is wrong then no amount of reinforcing will make it work.

We decided against the trailer and just pulled the truck like always.
