Hello all. I want to pick up a caravan from about 30 miles distance from home.
My car is fitted with the Alko tow ball to suit the Alko stabilising Hitch on our Bailey.
However the van I want to move is what I would call the "old style hitch" the type where a leaf type stabiliser would normally be used.
So my question is will my tow ball be ok for the trip? If ok I am aware that the Tow ball will need a thorough cleaning and de-greasing afterwards, before using it with the Alko hitch on our van.
I'm thinking it could be quite pricey to buy a new tow ball plus obviously new sets of bolts for both just for a one off trip.
I know the other way around would cause issues due To the clearance below the ball.
I'm going to borrow the adaptor for the 2x7 pin. - 13 pin connection from a friend.
Regards to all Brian
