Hi Guys.
When I hitched the DIY camper trailer,from here on in known as The Heamarroid to the D4 the same hitch that the D2 had for the Tregg was 5" too low.
Looked up on the net.Mr Hitches does a 4T/400kg adjustable hitch.I cant do linkys as we have no power and Im on the tablet.
Anyhow,they are listed on Ebay for $150 from the Perth Mr Hitches people,it comes up in the first couple of listings if somebody wants to post a link.
Anyhow,went to Perth today,the distributor was closed.Went another 5km up the road to Martins Trailer Parts and got the exact hitch listed on Ebay for $98.00.
Exactly what I needed to lift the hitch,quality gear too.

Too me,5" too low would indicate you have 5" too much extra:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:.

Here is the hitch,adjusted to the height I required.

Before and after.Trailer sits level,it also has reduced bouncing at the rear wheels of the D4 being a balanced load.Tows much nicer,well worth the coins spent.
