    tow hitch tongue help

    Hi all.

    I need a hitch height (measured from the ground to the flat of the tow tongue where the DO35 pin bolts to) of 590 mm. Have been to arb etc however no dimensions come close . Thinking i may have to make one and that brings all sorts of legality issues with it too😕. Has anyone here got any ideas?

    I take it you mean from the ground to the top of the flat surface where the tow ball would normally be fitted?

    I also assume your L322 has the standard Westfalia towbar with 2" hitch receiver.

    Do you want the measurement at access, standard, or extended vehicle height?

    Hi Graeme i have tried the 21181 (305mm long) and it isn't suitable because i can't get it high enough even inverted. The van hitch DO35 is almost 1/3rd the way up the bumper...😕

    If its not a long van, is the nose down attitude using the HR 21181 that much of a problem?

    21'6" graeme with 15" lt tyres and cruisemaster independent suspension. It was built on an offroad chassis and upgradable to 16" rims if req. Its slightly taller than a dirt roader but not as high as the offroad version with 16" rims. The problem with the lower front is dragging the chains and hitting the bottom of the drawbar over speed humps or washouts/ floodways.

    Hmmm my hitch is one of these:
    HITCHMASTER? DO35 V2-I DROP ON COUPLING

    The pin would have to be in the top hole of your treg type hitch...😮

    That sounds like a worthwhile van to take on a walkabout.

    I assume that off-road height over obstacles wouldn't be high enough and therefore a 30mm lift for off-bitumen use would be of little benefit.
