Adjustable Towbar Tongue

Richard,
Have you tried your local caravan yards, most have a range of 50mm square towbar tongues to enable caravans to be set up correctly behind different vehicle towbar heights.

Failing that any competent engineering shop should be able to fabricate exactly what you need.

Disco.

Hi Richard, I have one on my old Hilux. Instead of the L shaped tongue, it has a flat plate welded on the end of the square hitch tube, with two tapped holes in it. The L shaped tongue that takes the tow ball has a series of holes in it, so you can adjust it up or down, or turn it upside down and adjust if necessary. I bought it from my local trailer spare parts shop. I will post a pic tomorrow if you like.
Cheers, Dave

Hi,
What I am looking for is something like the Hayman Reese adjustable ball mount - this is the official name - just found that.

You get that with the WDH I think.

Looking forward to Dave's pics as hoefully that is a cheaper solution - unless I have to get a WDH for the caravan - which I am looking into as well.

Have ya seen these?

Rapid Hitch

Then there's the

Diversi-Tech

Can't find an Oz distributor for these, but
R and P Carriages sells 'em on ebay (US), and ships worldwide..

Hi Richard, not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it is what I have. I had to go the other way when I bought it, I needed to get lower, as the Hilux has a bit of a lift. Can't find a brand name on it, nor a weight rating. As you can see, it hasn't been used for some time, I got rid of that van quick smart.... not off road, and fell apart when I tried to take it to a bush camp site...lol.

Be aware in your searches that not all hitch receivers (the square bit that the goose neck fits into) are the same size or shape. I had great difficulty finding one similar to what you are looking for that would fit into my Toyota receiver (2000 Prado). Although the Toyota one is apparently made by Hayman Reese they have a slightly different profile. As luck would have it, my next door neighbour had one that fitted lying in his garage. Only mentioned it to him after 3 months of searching.
