YMMV
When I had a drop down tailgate I kept mine in b/c there was no shin problem. And it rusted in. With a lift hatch I take it out (leave it in the vehicle) in part due to theft, and I don't tow often. so yes MMDV!
PS I put it in when it snows to stop vehicles sliding into my rear.

I have a tri ball solid shaft that has a 2 5/16”, a2” and an 1 7/8”. I rarely change the Two and five but occasionally pull a two. I’ve never had trouble with it sticking and I live in one of the most corrosive environments I know of, shovels dissolve in 5 to 7 years left outside.
I was ticketed in NY City for having it in when I was parked. Check your location for restrictions.
Happy towing and remember practice helps 👍

My salt water spot weld (rust) says my nut isn't going anywhere.
FBO the safety chains should be crossed, even twisted, and tight enough that if the hitch fails, the trailer tongue drops onto the chains and doesn't spike into the pavement--a big disaster. But the chains have to be loose enough for tight turns.

Again I stand by the tri ball, no nuts. They have quads that have a pinto hook too but I’ve never needed that. Last night we broke a spring on the trailer coming out of the mountains and had to pull it out of the shackle to get back to the coast (left) no worries “dragging” it 55 miles on a solid shaft, wouldn’t have done that with a hollow or bolted ball. But in all fairness we are rural as fuck and two weeks ago we dropped the rear driveline unbolted it and came back in “front wheel drive “ for over 30 miles

The Virginia ez-pass website isn't very clear on what I need to do with them, and other states seem to have different rules.
From the VA website, I'd think I need a new and separate transponder to use for just when I'm pulling the trailer and plan to go through tolls or bridges?
My first trip with it is going to be out to Cape Henlopen State park in a few weeks, which means crossing the bay bridge in MD. The Maryland ezpass site says to just add the trailer license plate to your account.
Virginia doesn't seem to allow that. The closest thing I see on the VA site is for 'SUV w/wo Trailer', but in the details it says 4 axles. I'll only have 3.
And I'm not going to lie, I know 18 wheelers cross the bay bridge all the time, and I've read its not an issue, but my butthole is a bit puckered up thinking about driving it across the bay bridge.

I'm not afraid of the heights so much as I'm afraid of the wind and the drop!
I've actually run across the bridge a bunch of times.
It's not that scary to run across it until you get to the parts where the road is just grating.
Although I will say that I was NOT running near the sides, and I also didn't look down too much when on the grates.
This was probably the most memorable. This picture was taken by one of the race photographers.
I was on the grate when the cruise ship was going underneath me.
It's really odd to look down and see the top of a cruise ship

While it's not the bay bridge, I look forward to pulling Jonesville across this bridge each year on my way to Hatteras.

And you don't do anything special with the ez-pass to add the trailer (like suebhunny said?)

The lanes are just as wide on the bridge as off.
Your trailer is skinnier than your car.
No wind gust is going to get you except maybe if you are immediately next to another car.
If it's too windy to be safe for the most unskilled driver, they won't let any trailers across.
You got this.

So I have the basic b/c I never need the express; I might do like TOO if I lived or regularly travelled where there are no tolls. Never think about it. And even though it's not, it seems free when you don't have to physically pay!

It was really too cold, but the furnace worked like a charm and kept us warm while sleeping.
EZPASS worked fine, they detected the correct number of axles and charged the right $.
Something is up with my brake controller, it was very grabby when driving and when I reached my destination and walked back to the trailer I smelled brakes burning.
Not sure what I'm going to do on the next trip if it's grabby again. It's not like you can swing by the autozone and pickup/install a new one easily.
I'm going to try to turn down the sensitivity I guess and hope for the best.

Concerning the brake controller you should be able to manually activate the controller. Set the sensitivity way down. Drive down the road about 25mph and manually activate the controller without using the truck brakes. Sensitivity is right when you feel the trailer brakes activate but before they lock up.
