    Are you looking at a haymanreese square tube type?

    at least then you can take the goose neck out and use it at both ends---

    I haven't got one on my Disco, but used to have one on the front of my old Rangie years ago when I also had a 30 foot triaxle caravan. The tow hitch was not central on the front - it was offset to the left (passengers side) so that when moving the caravan, I was looking along the left side of the caravan and could easily see its full length and the tip of the rear bumper bar. Made moving the caravan into tight spots much easier.

    As Pedro has said - use the Hayman Reese style hitch so that a single tongue can be used both ends.

    Another good possibility with this, assuming the front tow hitch is securely connected to the chassis - I use a "billet" with D shackle which slides into the rear Hayman Reese hitch in place of the towing tongue as my rear recovery point. With a Hayman Reese style hitch on the front as well, the same style of recovery point could also be used here.
    Cheers .........

    Do you have airbags?, if so you can not put a tow hitch on the front.
