Is there a no drill, no cut hitch kit for a 2018 Grand Touring *without* the kick to open feature?

Looking to be able to use stuff like a jet ski trailer with our CX9.

Wondering if there's a bolt on hitch kit that doesn't require mutilating my bumper?

I don't have the foot-activated hatch thing.....

We have lived at our current place for 9 years.

The layout consists of a house (on its own panel) and an airplane-hangar/apartment.

The original hangar/apartment is from 1978

The house was built in 1993, and the rest of the electrical was redone at that time...

Except one sub panel that is the reason for this post.

The problem is in the apartment, and is recent onset (within the last year).

Our tenant is telling us that the breaker feeding the shown sub panel in the back of the hangar keeps tripping randomly, even when nothing but the lights are on.

That panel (Sylvania - and very believably a trailer/RV part, given that we already replaced the original RV furnace that was heating it with a heat pump a few years back - that's on different electrical) at the back of the hangar has 4 circuits, all of them 240V:

  1. Washer/dryer (with most of the lights and plugs in the bathroom also tied into it some how, presumably running off one or both legs)
  2. water heater
  3. well pump (supporting the whole property's water)
  4. a 240v socket that currently runs an air compressor.

It is fed by 2 hots from the main panel - there is no neutral back to the main.

I've attached pictures of said sub panel.

I am trying to figure out why the supply breaker for this panel has started tripping. Note that the actual breakers IN the panel are not tripping - the one on the end (air compressor) is intentionally turned off.

The first local electrician I asked blamed the lack of a neutral - which I guess makes sense BUT I am wondering why it took 8-9 years for this to start happening....

Also I don't know where the ground out of that sub panel actually goes into the ground....

Any thoughts.....
