Towing hitch

If you're contemplating any serious off-roading, you really can't go past the DO35 - very simple to use, and capable of doing a full 360 degree roll without coming unhitched. They are used on a number of the more extreme trailers including our former rig (a TVan) and the current camper (AOR Eclipse). Have used the DO

The Pro Series hitches are HR hitches made specifically for Camec see this link.

Quote "These round bar style hitches are rated the same as the Hayman Reese Hitches, but are made specifically for CAMEC, with the same features. They include the standard offset shank.

"These are made by Hayman Reese and the Reese New Style offset shanks can be used if the included standard shank does not have enough range."

The big difference between the two is there is no rake adjustment in the head. If the hitch receiver in your tow bar is dead level you will probably be OK. The rake adjustment is often needed to make finer tension adjustment than is available than the change in tension between chain links. I have had occasion to use the rake adjustment to get sufficient working links in the chains.

If you think you may need the rake adjustment then I would suggest the Eaz Lift Hitch - scroll down to see the range of hitches.

We used a bog standard HR with 850lb bars

I would if doing it again use this one Buy the sway control unit for it as well

The 100 ser has a problem in that you cant poke the tongue in far enough because of the spare tyre.

Some like me years ago shortened the tongue by cutting it and redrilling the hole HR frown on this but it gets the ball a lot closer to the car

Tom, who makes these 850 lb bars? The HR bars are 800 lb models. Also you would only use that model if your ball weight is over 275 kg. These days I would not be using the old classic series bars either, the newer standard bars give more clearance with the drawbar when you are manoeuvring around town.

If you are going to use the twin cam anti-sway then the standard series bars also have the curved ends to fit over the rollers - see this link. - read the description on that page.

we just fitted a McHitch to our camper trailer, easy to install and excellent in off road conditions, easier than the treg hitch
