Hi guy's,
well we have just arrived home after 4 months of "outback travel" covering all States.
Your OZ HITCH has performed above and beyond ALL expectations! It was not your average grey nomad trip that we find the majority of "off road" vans/ campers doing, mainly bitumen.

We have covered over 10,000 km's on minor & major dirt tracks. It included many sections of serious four wheel driving in first low with both diff locks engaged.

Our OZ HITCH is as good as the day we left, with NO noticeable wear, even after being put to extreme angles and conditions!

The trailer in tow weighed between 1745kg's and 2250kg's as we can carry up to 390liter's of water and 3x 9kg gas bottles. It is a serious custom camper fitted with 3000 kg Sugar Glide suspension. At times the angles of difference between vehicle and trailer were truly unbelievable..

What a hitch! If ever you need for me to speak to an interested person i would be only too glad to give a truly honest view.

I will never use any other hitch except an OZ HITCH on any future trailers.

My reason for making it easy on my best mate (my wife) is that I am a complete r/h leg amputee. NOTHING stops us!!

regards, Ray Willis

Offroad Coupling, Offroad Hitch… do you want the best?

Sunday May 20th 2012

Offroad Coupling or Offroad Hitch, which one do you choose for your camper trailer? Well basically they are the same thing and the two names would most likely depend on where you come from. USA tend to use the word offroad coupling more and Australia uses offroad hitch more. Of coarse as usual anything America does seems to be copied in Australia. The best thing to do here is to simplify this down to features and what you will need out of your offroad coupling or offroad hitch.

Point form advantages:

Easy connection and disconnection (should be seconds)
Absolutely must be ADR Accredited And Tested To suit your tow capacities
Ideally very low profile to avoiding barn door, tailgate damage when door swings over the offroad hitch
Simple strong connecting pin. Much better and more secure than clips and locking mechanisms
Very positive connection, no mistakes
Pin needs to be lockable for security when standing and connected to car.
Full bushing in all moving areas to prevent rattles and damage.
Good offroad angles at minimum 70Deg
Great line of vision for lining the two halves
Ideally one hand operation so leaving other hand free to operate jockey wheel
Bolt facing up so thread cannot get damaged going of barge ramps and over rocks
Side fitting connecting pin for line of sight and also if pin isn’t poking down it cannot get damaged
Double locking mechanism on the pin for security and safety
Cast steel one piece construction so no joints or weld and much stronger
Choice of bolt on or weld straight on.
Galvanised body for maximum rust prevention.
Can be used with a weight distribution hitch
Easy retro fit-able to all offroad coupling patterns.
Spare parts available through trailer parts and caravan parts distributors

Galvanised Offroad Hitch

Most hitches would be lucky to have even half of these features. If you are wanting all of these features then the only choice is the OzHitch off road hitches. If I had my choice I would choose and OzHitch as my choice of offroad coupling every time. So when looking for camper trailer parts look out for your OzHitch dealer.
