Here is the one we have on Out camper. Pretty cheap as they go and really good and fine. We used it to its full use, and can keep the normal tow hitch on the car

Pintle hook and lunette is the way to go. Easy to align when hooking up. Less likelihood of trailer theft. Plenty of articulation. A Land Rover and camp trailer will not break this combination.

The Obriens ORAC hitch or Queensland Caravan Accessories gives best ground clearance and tailgate opening on RRC., as it is "flat". They are also the only ones which can go 360degrees in either direction.
If you do not care about clearance and the height of the hitch a TREG is great.
Or for ease of hitching the Hyland as shown.
On my RRC I have found the ORAC type to be best as I can have the tongue in the high position and still open the tailgate without touching the coupling.

The thing i do like about my tow hitch is i can just put it on any car.
The neigbour borrowed it and put it behind his Rav and i have taken to places behind the Falcon. Just makes life a bit easyer

We too have the Hyland hitch and love it as said you don't need a special ball so it can go on any vehicle. My only issue which I have ment to take up with the manufacture is that it does not seem to be centred exactly on the ball, therefor as you brake or accelerate the hitch rocks backwards or forwards and "clunks". I don't think it should?

the very reasons i dislike them....
they do need a special ball to work correctly.
imho the basic design is flawed and allows the cup to wear at the lips amongst other things.
many have been known to lean over that much they jam on the ball and undo it, especially if using a std tow ball instead of the longer shanked 2.5 tonne version.
sure they are convenient and most of the time they behave just fine, but are too easy to use incorrectly. many idiots use them with load levellers.
one of my clients, an ex police forensic automotive engineer, has / had some nice examples of ones gone bad he showed me once when i rolled up to buy one.
he always recommended the orac btw.
