Something I learned on my last trip...

It is a good suggestion to drill the shaft of the ball and insert a cotter
pin. Ideally, use a castellated (sp?) nut so that the cotter pin is engaged
right from the start.

The cotter pin is all that kept my ball on after it came loose! I tightened
it up at the next stop, but crisis averted!
