I purchased a used Doggie Ride and I attached it to the rear quick release.How can I keep it from pivoting down and lowering the front of the trailer?

Once you have attached the hitch pin to your rear axle and tightened the nut it should not move. The axle side of the hitch pin has grooves to help keep it from moving, plus the trailer towing arm will naturally want to stay in a level trailing position. Check the instruction manual to make sure you have everything connected properly. http://img1.wfrcdn.com/docresources/7715/1/14551.pdf

On the back, there is a finger hold for the back cover that you can use to lift the whole unit. Press down on that and pull back. It will pivot out of the two lower clips.

There is a quick release that is mounted to the bike. It is quite easy to remove and replace the trailer. The hardest part is keeping your kid from running in to traffic while you do it.

Be sure to take the tension off the sway control if backing sharply. Otherwise, I haven't had any backing into my driveway or campground.

Add like a bolt to the part that holds the trailer to the pegs. this part is the weakest point puff the whole thing.

No it is stationary. You may not have a problem depending on the size of your tire but my is oversized at 35 inches and that causes the problem. I have heard there are extenders available to add to the hitch but haven't looked for them yet. One thing is that the upright bar does fold down but only to about 45 degrees and not enough to open the swing gate on my wrangler.

I tightened the small handle on the sway bar to be tight. Then after I drove my 28' trailer on the highway, I found it was still swaying, so I had to adjust the hex nut on the lower portion of the sway bar even tighter to bring the swaying under control. I would say you will need to haul your trailer a few times with each time adjusting the lower hex nut a 1/2 of a turn, till you get your preference. Good luck.

Secure it upright somewhere inside the RV, or in a storage compartment if there is enough clearance. I use bungee cords to tie it in place inside one of my storage compartments.

That's what the instructions say. My bike's rear real could not be set up with quick release. The trainer fits nicely over the nuts that hold my wheel on. Have been using it this way for 4 months. The bicycle is sturdy on the trainer without the incuded quick release.

It attaches to the bottom tube on the gate, the end of the gate. It can slant so your gate height isn't an issue. My 11 ft gate was sagging and would drag on the drive when I opened or closed the gate. With the wheel, there is no dragging as it rolls and keeps the gate off the ground.

I suspect this one depends on the trailer you're pulling and what you use for towing. With my F250, my dump trailer jack prevented me opening the tail completely, our small rv trailer is much lower and the gate cleared.

Never trailer with the wheel down! And just the wheel pivots. But never transport with wheel down while towing

Cover can stay down while lowering the tailgate but you have to unlatch the cover and raise it a bit in order to close the tailgate.

From experience, I can tell you that when the bike tips over, the trailer stays upright. There is a sort of spring as part of the connector that allows for some bending and twisting.

There's a little know be on the hinge part. Pull it slightly. This should lower the side rail..

Hi Laura,If I remember correctly you just use a screwdriver to tighten the bars but I found one of my dogs is smarter than I gave him credit for and he kept using his head to move the bar over and then get in the front seat. I solved the issue by taking black electrical tape and taping around the bar to make sure he could no longer move it.I hope this helped!!
