I just bought this unloved Dutchman 43' toy hauler and was ready to move it until I came across this.... what's broken on this pin box?
 
Don't attempt to move that trailer with that broken pin box!! Mine wasn't quite as bad as yours is. I had a welder friend of my brother in law come and weld mine. This was done in 2021 and have pulled my 5th wheel 30k+ miles with no problem.

Thanks. I didn't notice it until I actually backed up to it and tried to couple....the plate with the kingpin was sitting at about a 45 degree angle after I tug tested it. I unhooked and let it stay where it's at. I'll have who welds better than me weld it.
Thanks for your reply.... I can't believe it broke like that. Must have been bad welds from the factory.
