Looking for some input on the best hitch class, possibly a Class 4 or 5, receiver hitch.
This hitch will be primarily for OB applications such as towing a camping trailer with Roof Top Tent (RTT) similar to a Patriot Camper. The hitch will also need to serve as a recovery point when thing don't go as planned.
In my off road experience, I've always used a Pintle Hook but the slop between the eye and clasp was almost unbearable at times especially with a light load.
Definitely I can go-ahead and rule out Granddad's old school ball hitch, which has as much use off road as a pair of high heals in my opinion, but I'm sure someone is warming high heals out on the trail.
While searching the droves of information on the internet, I came across the DO35 Coupling from our brothers from down under in Australia.
The DO35 Coupling appears to have the best attributes of a Pintle Hook without the slop during acceleration and breaking while also maintaining a full range of articulation.
Maybe someone from Australia could chime in on the DO35 Coupling or others could comment on their experiences towing an offload trailer.
