  "textContent": "An coupling apparatus for towing is provided which in some embodiments may be a ball hitch coupler configured to accept a ball hitch which is attached to a towing vehicle. The apparatus may include one or more projections that may be flat-topped with rounded corners and separated by valleys having a tapered profile. This configuration reduces and transfers stress away from the connection point of a mounting section, such as a removable tube which is then attached the towed vehicle. The apparatus may be sized and shaped so as to accept a multitude of different styled and shaped mounting sections. The projections sit atop a flange that may be configured to reduce the compression load on the apparatus. The apparatus may utilize a clamping force style fastener to be used to attach the mounting section to the apparatus, providing for maximum versatility of said apparatus.",
