tow bar issues

hi everyone

i have bought a second hand swan neck and reciever and it looks like that they dont match as they wont fit together......

is it possible that i am being a bit thick? when i looked at the make of each the receiver is made by westphalia but the swan neck is made by oris..... even with the swan neck in the unlocked position is just wont go in as its too wide.....

andy

If they are different makes I doubt if they are compatible? Big Cry Pictures might help.

its a weird system and i never had any faith in the two bits staying together..the farmers hitch type is a safer bet.. ... - .- -.

doesnt the disco have this system and is it possible you have one part from the range and another from a disco and that they look similar but are different .. ... - .- -.

Agree with Stan, it's a disco hitch, have a look on EBay, you can confirm by checking the pics. There was a free one on here a bit back? There about £200 off the stealer....

Agreed it is different to mine as ive just been and looked Embarassed

Definately not a D3 bar though as they are entirely different... My guess is an obscure detachable D2 towbar as they are made by Oris... I will look at mine on the Bobtail and see Thumbs Up

Cheers Craig, also did you have any luck with piano black bits for either side of the sat nav screen?
