Trailer/Caravan Hitch

How many ways can you come up with the some idea !!!!!

Video Demo

I think you will find that Kedron Caravans have gone away from the Hyland hitch and now use the McHitch. They had them fitted to their vans at last years Brisbane Caravan and Campring show.

In the promotional video that Doug posted I noted that the trailer only came with 1 safety chain. Is this now legal? I've always used 2 chains and crossed them over.

I have a Trigg on a Cub Supamatic, and now that I've watched the video Doug posted I can see the advantages of the McHitch. The video makes it clear that the moving parts of the hitch are fully sealed (just like a universal joint) so no problems with water and dust ingress. This makes it superior to the Trigg/Treg, which in dusty conditions needs to have the vertical pin either dry or constantly cleaned and re-lubricated; either way, the rubbing surfaces (pin and hole) wear badly. After 2 years of minimal use my vertical pin is loose in the poly block and there's not much I can do about it. Cheers. Rob.

I'm not completely sold on the idea of applying loads to a uni joint at 90degrees to their intended design.
