I think this one was part of the exhibition, or someone had a fire in their van. If you are interested there are a...

My new Pathfinder has over a metre, and the factory tongue is a little short . My Adria 3004 hitch touches on the vertical part of the tongue. Bad design for euro hitches.IMO. I bought a new HR tongue that is welded on a 45deg angle but its about 30mm longer to the ball, that gives me plenty of clearance. Tha...
