A strong ball is indeed better than a small one;)
All the failures but one were due to crappy couplers on the trailers.
The one was a ball sheared off in a hard braking incident, causing the tongue to come thru the back of a motorhome.
Nah...
Seen too many ball hitches fail.
Never seen a lunette/pintle do that.
My non-military trailers have all been converted to lunettes.
It also really cuts down on guys wanting to borrow them...:sneaky:
Looks to me you have side risers with channels to accommodate the boards.
If not, maybe there are reinforcements in the bed sides that would accept stakes that could be fastened to the boards.

You might be able to source Xylene from an automotive paint store like this one:

It is sold as a 'reducer' not thinner. Most is available in different mixes with Toulene to tailor to seasonal temperature drying times...
