Sankey Towing???

I have a sankey/ambulance based trailer, which I normally tow behind a 110, however the 110 will be going soon.

The D3 has a standard swan neck tow hitch, I need something higher up for the sankey. What are you guy's using?

Any pics would be a bonus Very Happy

Sturdy is an understatement Laughing

Just a shame the part that you need from Land Rover isn't made anymore, so it's effectively useless Big Cry Evil or Very Mad

No, it's been superseded, by a shorter one, which I bought & it's too small.

Yes, the LR part is too small which means the RLD part sits too high to connect to the recovery eye.

I'm still all over Google etc trying to find a seller/provider Crying or Very sad

If there is a new version and you have one then I am sure RLD can use it to make a revised version?

Got a picture of it in situ so we can see what is up?

I'm sure he would cut a bit out ... And re weld it shorter .

And i should imagine if that's all that's available ... then Ray will re design his hitch
