    Agree - they are not the same. Otherwise they would have been able to legally stop the other mob from continuing production. P

    There's that language barrier again! Translate "copyright" into some Asian languages, and it comes out as "right to copy"!!!

    New Caravan with DO35 hitch and 550mm tow ball height

    I would go with the Mitch or similar for sure. Haven't had any problems & I have a ball thats 500mm off the ground without any fancy adjustable receivers.My off road Zone van sits level & tows like perfectly with no moving around.
    Well worth the swap.
    Cheers
    I have a MY12 D4 and just purchased a new off road caravan and the manufacturer says it will have a DO35 hitch which will be 550mm off the ground. My current stock D4 ball with the TBM in inverted position is only about 450mm off the ground so I need something to raise the height about 100mm. I have also been looking at the Hayman Reese catalogue and seems that they have a TBM with a 170mm rise in inverted position which should get me close to 550mm. Cost is about $300.
    Any other suggested solutions? Maybe Mitch Hitch?

    As I said, if we're going off road and I don't mean driving gravel roads, but real dirt play and no van etc behind us, the hitch wouldn't be attached.
    We've travelled many miles with the van behind us and had no problems, if others have, maybe they should check what they're doing with the vehicle and whether they need the hitch to be in when they're doing it.

    You're right, you're not. There is no company on the planet more aggressive in protecting their brand than . And yet iPhone "copies" exist. They are absolute rubbish, but exist they do.

    Only if they were being sold here through a local company, and even then that would not stop production, only the sale. Laws passed here, on the US, or anywhere else for that matter, have no impact on activities in China. There is no compulsion for them to obey. Only the CCCP can enforce laws in China, and they don't care. Why would they?

    The online marketplace people get around it by having stuff sold on a site based in another country also not controlled by our laws.

    Stops the reverse parking sensors from being triggered by an aftermarket raised tow hitch, such as "Mitch Hitch"
