Do you have a 2" ball? Was it fully on the ball before you left? I normally will hook up to the ball and crank back up slightly to make sure it is seated correctly.

I never heard of this happening for no reason. The only thing I can think of is are you sure you have the correct size ball  for your R Pod? Otherwise that baffles me.

We were on our way out of town with the Dawgpod and stopped to get lunch. While circling the parking lot, my husband drove over a small curb with one wheel of the pod. Then went we went over a small speed bump (slowly) and the hitch released and dropped the rPod.! We were stunned! We had both checked the hitch lever. Not only was it in the down position but it was secured in that position with a pin lock! So... What happened? Was going over a curb or speed bump sufficient torque to pop the ball out of the socket? We rehitched it and proceeded and had no more problems but are now very nervous. Any words of wisdoms?
