Hitch types.
As per another thread we are in the market for a new van having had an unfortunate mishap. I now want to understand a bit more about the range of hitches we find will. Our first 2 vans were late 80s/early 90s vintage and had simple looking trailer hitches.
We are looking at vans around the £7500 mark, probably 2006/2007 4 berth single axle lightweight such as the Bailey Ranger or Bordeaux, Sprite Alpine 4, Lunar Chateau, Swift Charisma 535.
I have noticed some Rangers (2006) seem to have the same hitch as the old 1989 van and that seems odd. Others seem to have a red handled more modern looking Alko one and some seem to have what looks like a combination of the two.
Where can I find a rundown of the different hitches I might encounter on vans of that era together with their pros and cons? I am looking for what will give us the best stability/safety of course.
