We are home, Longview Tx. The Coach did not get towed the hitch did get tore off the coach. The bolts were grade 5 I talked to Mike at Newell he said then they used grade 5 now they use grade 8, if the hitch had not came off I think we would had a lot more damage. The frame on the back of the coach looks fine 5 bolts hold the hitch to the frame 4 bolts broke 1 clip tore off the end of the angle iron and that bolt is still there it is a grade 5 bolt. If the bolts had not broke the Jeep would have wraped around the back of the coach. Grade 5 bolts worked for 135k miles, so due Igo back with grade 5 or 8 bolts.The hitch did a job to the tailgate when it came off the coach. Glad it took the Jeep not the side of the Coach.
