I just picked up my long-awaited camper trailer and it came with the new DO35 hitch. Thought I would share these pics with you.
This is the hitch without the male pin throught it that secures it to the tow tongue
The male part of the hitch - not the two different dimensions that make it extremely easy to engage properly
Lowering the hitch onto the male bit
coming through the hitch
Note the back right hand side bolt - this is forced up via a spring mechanism to secure the hitch later
Use your thumb to move the 2nd part of the locking lever (on the left) moving it towards the front
The hitch is now locked. Take note of the back right hand bolt - it is now raised up and is locked.
This is the hitch locked. To unlock it you need to lift the right hand small handle whilst at the same time push the back right bolt (spring loaded) down. Very simple mechanism, very strong and easy to hitch the trailer to the car with minimal effort.
