Which is the best CT coupling?

Thanks Blue.....do you have the Burra or the Cooper? How long have you had your Tambo for and are you happy with it? Everything I read about this CT is positive...so far.

TJ,
very happy with the product and extremely impressed with the after sales service... Kieth an Amanda should be proud of the business they have built. I have the Cooper with the extra bedroom, toolbox, leccy brakes... Had it for about 16 months now, without issue. Some have voiced concern about Tambo having a fairly lengthy lead time and how this may affect quality... Have seen a few of them recently, all very new and all still great quality units...

Just for the record, the good lady and I have been recording set-up times... With the kids in tow, anything from 30mins to an hour... Very dependant on how much they try to help. Without the kids, we have it down to a fairly flat 15mins, handbrake to can...

My vote also goes to the Hyland. I have one fitted to the offroad van and it is brilliant. Gets in every position with ease and straight forward when hooking up.

The tregg requires quite a bit of accuracy when linning up but the Hyland just does it better.

My 10 cents worth.

I've previously used a Tregg and they are great.

The Hyland is also good but the plastic block in the Tregg quietens down the noise between car and trailer where as with Hyland you still get that clunking as they still use a ball connection.

I guess not between them all bu my vote would be for Tregg.

Willie, I've got an AT35 which is similar. I've installed a reversing camera and screen and now that I'm used to it, I can get within an inch almost every time. Pretty easy to push it that far.

If I had installed the camera in a better position for this purpose, it would be even easier.

Mine wife tries to help, but I find it easier to just do it myself most of the time now.

Good idea Norm . I have already been chastised a number of times on this forum for all the gadgets on the car , so what will one more matter .
Thanks ,
Willie .

If the army taught me one thing, it was that I'll never own a vehicle with a lintle hook... That damn clunking near did my head in...

nor will I own one with a "Pintle" hook... I really should look up occasionally while typing...

I have sucessfully decoupled a treg hitch with a trailer that was overturned with an enormous weight on the hitch, so it can be done and it isn't hard. Just pull the pin in the Hayman Reese coupling & the entire coupling comes out of the vehicle easily.

If you have a load on the pin you cannot! pull out the pin.

You missed the point. The load was on the treg pin (& yes they are a bithc to pull when loaded) but it was easy to get it off the hayman reese pin so I just pulled the hayman reece pin and thus took the hayman reese coupling out complete with the treg coupling attached. Trailer now easily disconnected. I am just reporting what I did whcih easily overcame the problem you suggested.

If you really,really have to, it's not that difficult.
Get a drift of smaller dia, a piece of 10mm rod will do nicely.
Then thump the pin out with the drift.
When you're bogged there's not that much load on the pin so I wouldn't expect it to move sufficiently to trap the 10mm rod.

How about that??

Cheers
