#210 has a Parkside tow bar fitted with a combination ring feeder coupling. We need to get something that will allow us to tow camper trailer with treg hitch any ideas?

I am assuming that you have a four bolt flange on the towbar to take the ring coupling. Photo???
If if does not have a 50mm Reese type receiver, you should be able to unbolt it and bolt on a standard towing shank that you can buy off the shelf. If not you can get one fabricated.

Hi Greg/Dean
Like most others I have a 50mm square receiver on the Oka, in which fits the very heavy hitch. I have altered it slightly so I turn it one way to use my Treg hitch for my trailer, or I can turn it 180 degrees to take a normal ball coupling, although the latter might be not really suitable for off road use due to being too low.
Anyway, possibly best of both worlds, although the police might think differently as the setup, when in the "treg" position, blocks my numberplate.

Greg, the standard Parkside towbar as per below has a 50mm receiver. Any towbar supplier would be able to provide a hitch with the appropriate amount of drop (I use a 6" drop for the camper trailer and a 10" for the boat trailer).
