the unigo doesn't use a ball, it has a special receiver for the trailer but you can buy an adapter. my issue was that the hitch framework was damaged so the receiver was angled instead of vertical causing the trailer to ride at an angle.
i'm more concerned with strength than appearance and was hoping to build my own if anyone had plans.
Hmm. Without seeing it, I'd bet a dollar to a donut any metalworker could bend it back then add welded reinforcement so it doesn't happen again. Assuming it's not mangled beyond repair. Pretty sure I could do that if you were local, for a nominal fee. As for me, I use a Hitchdoc. Yeah I know, not a Unigo but it is quite sturdy as well as good looking. Mine has a custom swivel hitch so I can ride the twisties aggressively.
