The chain type snap latches can be very hazardous if you don't take off enough pressure from the WD bars. On some sites it could be at an angle enough to not be able to do this, I have seen it happen. When there is a lot of tension on those chains that snap latch can be like a slingshot when it lets loose. Be sure your feet are clear of the pipe handle that will be shot out of your hands. I have witnessed this so it can happen. I had one and then got the Equal-izer 4 point and like it MUCH better.
Make sure you get one with the proper rated WD bars. I had the dealer sell me one that was not enough for the tongue weight. My trailer is a 10k gvwr with a 1280 tongue weight and they set me up with a 1000/10,000 hitch. After a year of using it and not feeling it was adequate I bought the 1400/14,000 hitch and it is night and day in how well the new stronger hitch performs. Find out the tongue weight and go a couple hundred pounds more on the hitch rating.
