Trigg/Tregg Hitch or Normal Hitch

Tregg, every time. More secure. The poly block also quietens the towing and just that little bit more give takes strain off your transmission. Can be a little trickier to connect as you have to be pretty precise lining the pin and hole up. If the van is really heavy and you are on a bit of a slope or uneven ground, this is a little harder, but you get good at it after a while.

If it was me making the decision I'd opt for the off road hitch simply as it is great on road with none of the clunking of a standard ball and then, when you want to go off road into the rough stuff it will carry on as if nothing has happened. My Trak Shak CT comes standard with a Trigg hitch and has worked beautifully wherever I have taken the CT.

My 2 cents worth

Have a look at the Hyland Hitch which is a very good hitch without the line up hassles.

This site will give you photos of the different hitches available:

Well, I'd stay with Tregg. We've just rolled our camper while on holidays in Tassie. Apparently if it wasn't for the tregg (or similar rotating) the car might have gone over as well.

I'm stuck with no camper as it's a write off. I'll start new post....

I have a tregg on an outback eagle. Very happy with it.

Another vote for the Hyland.

The Hyland without a doubt. Very easy to connect up.

Before you buy the Jayco, have a look at Goldstream. More expensive, but the quality is noticeable.

Hi,
A Highland hitch for me as you get full articulation, with the ease of a standard hook up, so easy.

The std ball hitch will start to bind at about 22 deg. So if going off-road a suitable fully rotating hitch is advisable. We have an AT 35 on the Bushtracker - no problems.

Don't forget to reduce speed and tyre pressures on the Jayco when on the corrugations or you may spent a lot more time on maintenance.

A true, genuine no frills, fair dinkum "OFF-ROAD HITCH", surely we must be talking about a pintle hook and eye. The only other hitch that can match the pintle hook and eye for articulation is the hyland hitch.
Trigs and Treggs don't even come close to the articulation that a pintle hook and eye provides.

Cheers,
Dion.
