Connecting to the Tow Vehicle
WARNING – Your coupler MUST be rated for the Gross
Vehicle Weight and be in serviceable condition.
• The hitch MUST be correctly load rated.
• Hitch and pin MUST be compatible.
• All bolts and fittings must be correctly tightened
and serviceable condition.
Towing with Trucks and Buses
If you intend to tow your trailer with a truck or heavy commercial vehicle you should fit a hitch system to
minimize the lash effect of the commercial suspension and distance from the rear axle to the tow point. Truck
suspension can be harsh, particularly in off road conditions. The long distance between the axle centre and the
point of attachment can be quite long, further exacerbating the effect putting stress on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.
