Hi Charlie,

I haven't been on the forums in a while but while browsing I saw that you were thinking of upgrading your trailer hitch...



I saw a neat idea for a trailer hitch (that you might be interested in) a few days ago. I may adopt this method for my trailer(s).

Heres a couple of photos of it and a link to trailer & hitch...

Made from a steel tube and a swivel caster wheel.

As you can see it has all the movement a trailer hitch needs - Up - Down - Left - Right - plus it pitches (due to the swivel caster) allowing the bike/trailer to tilt when cornering.

I'll keep an eye on your build for any updates

Regards
Tom
