Karma


I said with a chuckle in my voice, did you bang your shins on the tow bar ( Hayman Reece WDH type), is that why you took it off? She said no I thought you did. That wiped the smile off my face.

Apparently somebody wanted it badly, but is sort of useless to them without the tension bars and coupling. I usually take it off, this time I didn't, some else did.

Am now looking at the Anderson WDH and anti sway as not much more expensive than replacing my " lost" item. Would appreciate any feed back on what others think .

 Saw that recently.   Bloke with the bleeding shins took the hitch out and left it on the bonnet.   Scratches should polish out, don't know how much the dents will cost to fix.

Hopefully the low life that stole it, Stl will "bang their shins" real bad needing hospital treatment.

I hate low life's that steel other people's property, no matter how big or small.



Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Whichever hitch you get, a locking pin is cheap insurance. Check ebay.

It's gonna hurt even more when you price new one too.
Specially if the 750 one.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your hitch
I drilled an extra hole at the very end of my pin, and put a very small padlock on
I assume that a small padlock will usually stop an opportunity thief

A few years later, I could not undo the padlock, (I assumed that some grit had got behind a tumbler in the padlock). Plenty of WD40/CRC would not free it up
I had to bust it open with a large screwdriver

I am not sure how easy it would be to remove the locking type pins, in a few years time, if you want to remove the hitch

If you decide to buy the Andersen WDH I'm sure you will be happy with it it incorporates anti sway as well as weight distribution.

Have used a locking hitch pin for more than 20 years and never had any problems unlocking it

Cheers

David

Us too Dougwe! A few weeks back we were camped at Narrung Ferry SA free camp for 3 nights. On the last night some lowlife stole some-ones tinny that was moored on the lakes bank

right next to their caravan.

Brand new tinny & outboard. Bloke had forgone insuring them against his wife's wishes! The poor bloke will never hear the last of it. A***holes!
