just picked up one of those trailers, although ALOT cheaper than that one :o

Does anyone know whether a off the shelf flat to round pin adapter works with em?

& what adapter/hitch combo will do the job as the pickup time is quite soonish

They ar a 12 pin NATO plug which are similar but totaly different to a standard civy plug. You can get tintls that mount onto a standard Hayman Reese type tow hitch they are aroung $300

Thanks mate, Yeah i didnt know whether they were just a 6 pin/7pin small or large off the shelf, or as you said, something alot different.

as for the hook & receiver ive seen the two piece where the hook bolts onto a flange plate for height adjustment & the one piece type that just slides in like the ol towball at a set height etc, how do you reckon it will sit on a disco with 7.5R16's?

If it will sit nice id rather go with the one piece hook/receiver as it looks alot better

Can you work out what's going on there?
I'd take some better pics but it's cold outside.

Get yourself a Hayman Reese hitch. The trailer will look good behind the Disco.
Which trailer did you get? A No5 or a 1 ton cargo?

Got a No5, wanted something able to follow me anywhere along firetrails etc & carry the extra gear. I found out how quickly you can fill the back of a disco a couple months back for a good camp trip, had to get others to cart my stuff around.

In regards to the hitch heres a link to what i was thinking

Yep. That would do it.
You'd probable be better off getting a rotating pintle.
The lunette on the No5 will be fixed. I think there is a way to get it rotating.
The problem with mine is both the pintle and lunette rotate. I believe it's best if the pintle rotates.
