    4x4 OFFROAD HITCHES

    I have on my camper an O'brien offroad coupling full 360 articulation.
    Not too bad when it comes time to hook up either. Thinking of trying
    a Tregg style poly block hitch, is anyone running one and what do they think of it.?

    I have a Treg hitch on my Kimberley Kamper. Works fine, no issues, I lubricate the "peg hole" with silicon spray, if you use grease your duds will wear it .

    Hooking up is best done with the aid of a reversing camera or good guide, with practice it is pretty easy to do.

    I'm happy with it. Having said that my newly ordered Vista RV Crossover will come with a DO35 hitch

    I travel by myself and use a McHitch Auto Coupler on my 2 tonne van and they are the ducks guts... don't need an assistant and don't even need a camera once you get your eyelines sorted

    Wouldn't touch a Treg style with a bargepole nowadays

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    I have the treg polyblock style and its a pita to hook up if your not spot on and the ground is too difficult for you to maneuver the camper too line it up.

    Love the tregs.
    The biggest bonus in my eyes about the tregs is the pins interlock. So IF the block fails, the trailer will never part company, it'll be bloody noisy but still attached.

    One thing I've noticed is the genuine tregs have a shamfer on the leading edge tip and bottom. This makes the initial entry much easier and you don't have to be spot on level and it'll still slide in.
    Most the after market ones I've seen are square edged so maybe have a look into that.

    Still relying very heavily on that one point in the hitch to hold up.
