Default Alko hitches are amazing

So after owning a folding camper towing with my V70 D5 Rdesign was really easy. Recently I have been towing a 2 berth caravan of my parents on a standard hitch. I found the car move round more which my wife didn't like and was feeling sick even though the caravan was not loaded much for weekends away and well under the 1050kg max limit. My parents Doblo towing it is great due to the car size, but the V70 was so different.
We bought a 2001 Bailey Ranger 4 berth caravan for ourselves (picked up yesterday) and had a Alko hitch put on and I have to say it made the ride extremely stable, even in the pooring rain with coaches and lorrys passing the caravan didn't flinch once. Worth their weight in gold for stability in my eyes.
