I saw a caravan this morning that the treg type coupling had snapped. Caravan was a one month old Jayco and had travelled approx 500 bitumen kms.
Coupling snapped on one of the bends of the main U shaped peice of metal attached to the caravan.
Luckily it snapped as they were leaving the caravan park. Hate to see what would have happened at 100kph.

MartyB,
Your post prompted me to examine the Treg coupling on my 2003
Kimberley Kamper - the "U shaped piece" is one piece of steel folded into a U, not (say) a welded three piece, and I have to say it is hard to conceive of it snapping.
Looking at Jayco's website photos of the chassis (which are hard to magnify) the coupling is not a Treg coupling (unless it's a new design) so I take some comfort from your words "Treg type".
Poor sods, but lucky sods that it broke when they were at slow speed.
