NATO hitch hight question

Thanks for the reply.

The trailer is not a 3/4ton Sankey it's a Rapier Missile support trailer that has adjustable ride hight. I don't mind if I can't open the back door and not to worried about the weight the hitch can carry as the trailer can only carry 1 ton and I'm sure I can engineer something that will more than carry the load.

As I said the trailer has hight adjustment but as I don't have the trailer here I can't work out the height for the hitch, at a guess I take it will need to be about 26" to the centre of the hitch. The Disco has a 20mm lift on HD springs so 26" to centre will bring the hitch just below the spare but will stop me opening the back door.

I was asking here on the off chance that someone in the forum might have the same trailer and could give me some advice.

Your going to struggle no matter adjustment or not.

I can find 2 types of trailer. One is the missile pod carrying trailer which is basically a specially built chassis for the pod to be mounted to and, what I imagine you have, a resupply trailer which is a beefed up version of the 3/4 ton.

Best solution may be to remount the towing eye assembly upsidedown underneath the A-frame but you got to get it home 1st

PaulMc Yep, that could be it as we used a lot of off road loactions, happy days except in the cold dark and wet which was most of the time, I have crawled out from under my mashy wagon to find myself in some precarious places at first light
