    Dyneema rope will surely assist your marketing plans and I believe you may be onto something with a ‘bridle’ type sling connection to rated points as many modern tourers would be near impossible to legalise a Hayman Reese type steel hitch afront within the technology advanced bullbars.
    FWIW: I could personally see the benefits too of a portable sling type connection to the rear of campers/vans whom have ventured too far down a track if that makes sense?
    Perfect sense to me MB mate ;P

    PS. a shunty is basically just a low value resistor, a coulomb-meter measures this value to calculate current, I have a 500a/75mv shunty on my offgrid solar system, y62s are okay
