Hi,

Does the Hylander coupling do the same job as Treg Hitch. It doesn't look as solid as a Treg to me. Any feed back is appreciated.

Cheers
Jason

Hi Jason.
I have a hylander coupling on my new camper trailer. It is easier to connect the trailer up & works just as well as the Treg.
Appears just as solid as my previous Tregg unit.
Regards.
Vince

Hi Jason,
If you end up wanting to buy one let me know as I have one here I didn't end up using.

Cheers

Jason,

I have one on my camper trailer. They are an excellent unit. They have all the reticulation of "all the others", plus the ease of connection of a ball coupling.

Brian - does the Hyland coupling rattle the same as an ordinary ball coupling. With a treg you get no rattles in the coupling.

AJ,

there is an adjustment on the ball socket.

I've had mine on for several thousand k's, and had no rattles.

A bit of grease and adjusted correctly.

It's great. I can't recommend highly enough.

Regards
Brian

Not as solid as a Treg????
depends which one you're lookin' at, I guess;-))

Darren Hyland makes a few different versions of his excellent coupling, a pretty good comparo can be seen here >>trailer couplings

I have the 3500.. they don't come much beefier than that:))

For heaven's sake it is a HYLAND Hitch, not a Highland, Highlander, Hylander but a HYLAND.

The best thing about them, as compared to a Tregg, is the ease of hiitching (lining up is not that iimportant) and the fact you can use a standard 50mm ball.
