The Do35 hitch is the ultimate weapon in towing an oversized caravan, boat or trailer. The Cruisemaster Do35 kit includes the standard DO35 V3-R, accessories and mounting bolts kit, everything you need to distribute weight evenly across your caravan's A-frame. This version is ideal for caravans with a pre-existing handbrake mounted elsewhere on the A-frame.  

The new Do35 hitch is the strongest coupling Cruisemaster have ever made and as caravans get heavier and weight distribution systems more widespread. The articulation of the DO35 allows you to take your caravan or trailer anywhere the 4wd can get with its rotational articulation both horizontally and vertically. If you’re after something that can handle up to 4.5 tonnes, then check out the Do45. 

But it does not end there… when we talk off-road in Australia, we are talking tough corrugations, this is where the build quality of the DO35 shines. Your coupling can take on anything the outback can throw at it and you will quickly find that only the toughest survive. The DO35 has high quality poly bushes and is fully greaseable to reduce wear in the toughest of terrains. Cruisemaster went back to the drawing board and re-engineered the Do35 hitch to produce a coupling that could handle it all.  

Made from forged laser cut stainless-steel and high-quality polyurethane, the precision casting has been brought together to increase the strength of the Do35 coupling whilst reduce weight. This updated DO35 hitch is over 50% stronger than the outgoing model. These advanced processes have also allowed the elimination of hitch adaptors* allowing you to get back on the road with less hassle. Tested with a run to Cape York and back the Do35 hitch has shown that this coupling can handle anything. Even though there have been some big changes it still retains the simple drop-on attachment method loved by travellers Australia wide. 

Features:

• Mounting centre hole to centre hole is 54mm x 185mm 

• A DO35 V3 handbrake kit is available and compatible for use with this coupling. 

* Checked on HR Classic, HR Standard, Milford and EZ-lift for compatibility with the DO35. Compatibility of WDH and Drawbar is a separate consideration. * 

FAQ about DO35 Coupling V3-R

Is the DO35 Coupling V3-R compatible with caravans that already have a handbrake?

Yes, the DO35 Coupling V3-R is specifically designed for use with caravans that have a pre-existing handbrake mounted elsewhere on the A-frame. This makes it an ideal choice for owners who do not need an integrated handbrake in the coupling itself.

What are the key features of the DO35 Coupling V3-R that enhance its performance in off-road conditions?

The DO35 Coupling V3-R is designed to excel in off-road conditions with features greaseable bushes, which reduce wear and enhance durability. Its articulation allows for extensive rotational movement, ensuring that the caravan or trailer can follow the towing vehicle smoothly over uneven terrain. This model is also noted for its robust build and increased strength, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.

What is the primary difference between the DO35 Coupling V3-I and the DO35 Coupling V3-R?

The primary difference between the DO35 Coupling V3-I and the DO35 Coupling V3-R lies in the integrated handbrake feature present in the DO35 V3-I. The DO35 V3-R is optimized for setups where a pre-existing handbrake is already mounted elsewhere on the A-frame, thus focusing on providing robust coupling strength without the integrated brake. This makes the DO35 V3-R suitable for users who do not need the extra braking mechanism directly on the coupling but still require a strong and reliable connection for oversized loads.
