Alternate design for tow hitch.


Came across this new design - not sure about it but thought I'd pass it on.

 

https://www.caravancampingsales.com.au/editorial/details/is-this-the-future-of-towing-116556/?fbclid=IwAR3bt2OTvKUaNpm2I5MFGsMQln5O9Qg4lTR5mNuQGA6CTQVUWPs5KB_gC9I

 

Good Luck.

Only problem is, it seems the maximum tow is 700kg so not. Suitable for caravans.

Hmmmm

Perhaps a solution for a perceived problem, or not ! Use the cloud to position the car ??? biggrin

That would take 100 years to get approved here. So forget it ! Did away with the tow bar ? What does the hole in the bumper have to hold the 'plug'. Plasticaww

I think its a good concept, could be engineered for heavier loads
Maybe its only a bad idea because its been designed by women that thought outside the square

Funny its on a caravan site . The big part now we are older is the hitching . I made a V to bolt around old ball to centre coupling . Less damage to plastic bumper .

 If you are going to rely upon that for hookup that would eliminate over  half of Australia.

 No one is promoting the hitch as a fix for any existing hitch. It is being promoted as a new option. There are new hitches being introduced ever year or three. One respondent said he was not replacing his Mchitch. I can remember that being introduced a few years back, no one said that the Mchitch was not wanted at that time. Why is there all the fuss about this one providing some perceived threat? If you look closely it will need a lot of improvement in its carrying capacity before it will take on here.
