Sorry this topic keeps coming up.
Went to a towbar/ball specialist today to get my fridge relay checked, and need a complete new loom!! The wires have been squashed and a panel bolted down on top of them, behind the rear seat,
Any way I asked the fitter about the direction of the bolts and he said it doesnt matter but with the nuts on the inside it is more pleasing to the eye, he then took the cover off my towball and asked why it was clean, me saying proudly i have a alko caravan hitch, his reply that is NOT a alko towball!!
So had to buy another one, and contacted the dealer where purchased and he agreed I stipulated a ALKO ball
he then contacted the caravan dealer who supplied it, the caravan dealer's reply
" It is compatible as we supplied you with a spacer it keeps the hitch away from the body of the towball itself,and in the early days that is what was used as the caravan hitch was made for a few years before the ball."
Now my understanding is that the height is what matters, what are your thoughts,
Picture shows the alko one (half cleaned) fitted to truck and the one they supplied loose
