That blows....I'm bringin the gfs digital camera with extra battery, and 16, 32, and 64MB XD Memory cards, so I will have loads of pics....I'll even bring the laptop so I can upload them directly to the laptop and reuse the memory cards again and again.....

As for the hitch shackle....I went and bought a second $20 tongue and installed a shackle onto it. It sits vertically instead of horizontally, but should still work fine!!
