Great, thanks for the feedback. Did not want to fit a big bar type as this is a plough when off road.

Yes, no problem at all. just got back from a 500mile round trip to Bridport in Dorset towing a 2009 Coachman Pastiche 535/4 no problems whatsoever. I would add not wishing to insult your intelligence; make sure the swan neck is in the locked position. I have heard of, that they can come adrift if not locked on.
