Brecon Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 If it has the Winterhoff hitch, then you need the Robstop hitchlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil and lena Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi, Can anyone advise what type of hitchlock i need for a hobby 635 uk special, thanks, George. Depends what type of hitch you have is it a winterhoff or Alko also you will probably need two wheelclamps as your van is a twin axle are you intending to tour with your van or site it permanently as you cannot legally tow these overwidth hobby's on the UK roads unless you use a Transit van or similar with 3500kgs GVW A Four wheel drive no matter how big or heavy is not legal to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beejay Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 MANY THANKS< WILL BUY NEW. Be aware there are two versions (and prices) of the Winterhoff WS3000 hitchlock available. The round bar may be 13mm or 19mm diameter. Only the 19mm is approved by Dutch & German Insurance Companies. A couple of years ago some Dealers were selling the 13mm version in boxes marked with a 19mm sticker at 19mm price, seems there were some "grey imports". As a quick check the 13mm version can be locked by pushing the lock button without the key in the slot but the 19mm version needs the key turned to let the locking bar enter and is a much stronger lock. I speak from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
