Hayman Reese Standard Weight Distribution Kit

Hi Harry. Going on this post and photos it seems like it could be a bit of a problem. Mine is on the bottom of the A frame and fits well. Bob.

Hi Harry
We have a Retreat Fraser and towed by 200 Series. Part of our package included the Hayman Reese Hitch. We got the 8000 kit. We ordered our van with the 4in lift, the 6" chasis as yours, and it has fully independant suspension.
It is our first van so can't exactly give you a comparison. All I would say is that I felt it swayed a little more than I was expecting. I then had the anti-sway device fitted (dual cam system) just to see if it improved things. I can't say as I noticed any difference.
Suffice to say it must be adequate as this was the kit supplied by Retreat.

The main thing is tha load capacity of the hitch, check that and the towing capacity of the tug (both the ball weight and pulling capacity). If either one of those are outside the limit then you have no insurance.
I don't know your caravan or tug so I can only comment in general terms that may help others as well.

The HR connection is adjustable and has about 6 to 8 positions to mount the towball at the correct height, if your tug is lower then the hitch may be turned upside down to get more adjustment .

If your tug is very heigh due to lifted suspension there is a longer drop HR bar available and you should have no problems to get it level.
Once you have the correct height you need to adjust for the correct leveling force.
The HR hitch has about 12 adjustment in the hexagonal plates.

HR does not wear much if you lubricate it!!!!!! use silicon spray or something similar.
If it squeks, lubricate it.

All you have to worry if the caravan is high , that you may not get the boot open.


Have fun and take your time to get it just right!
It makes for a much smoother and safer ride!
