Treg hitch with weight distribution system

I've seen the normal setup with a Treg hitch.....

To my knowledge, weight distribution systems are only beneficial on the black top.

That's why they are not available for offroad hitches.

G'Day Ray,

Myself and others with TREGG hitches on our off-road caravans use a WDH by fitting a spacer plate between the normal hitch and the tregg. The bolt on the tregg is more than long enough to accomodate this and means you don't have to grind off the lugs which prevent the tregg from twisting on the hitch.

One person used the spacer as a platform to weld a bar and some larger mud flaps accross the rear of the vehicle to reduce the amount of stones being thrown up on the caravan.

Took an angle grinder, a tin of black spray paint and about 1/2 hour to make

Hope this helps

Ray,
Not too sure what you need to do but I have a treg hitch if you want to come and look at it.
Cheers,

Hi Poppy,
Yes, you can definitely use a WD system with a Treg hitch. I have one on mine. I simply ground the pins off the receiver and welded a small rod to the top of the WDH so it can't spin around. You only need to take them off for the really rough stuff like deep creek crossings etc.

There is one disadvantage, however - it does put a lot of additional strain on the poly block, resulting in accelerated wear in the horizontal pin where the bronze bearing sleeve may eventually come loose from the block itself. Having said that, it will still last for many years and is not dangerous even when this happens. I reckon a WDH is well worth having and makes a huge difference to the way your van tows.

Cheers
