These one-piece pintle hitches aren't that expensive. Cheaper than buying a separate pintle hitch and receiver adapter to mount it to. Pintle Hook - Standard Pintle Hitch | etrailer.com

Yeah.. I'm not a fan of those hybrid hitches.

Hitch and tongue go hand in hand. Any hitch will allow 90 degree left and right as pictured in above post. But only a pintle or some other multi axis hitch will allow a large amount of up and down movement (think going over and down and then back up steep berms). As far as twisting motion, a...

Ok, got a tracking number and a delivery date sometime between 24 Feb & 10 March (purchasing from the same person I was trying to buy it from before). From what I understand, I'll have to pay import cost (about $40 US +/-). So it'll come to about $350 +/- total. From what I understand, I'll...

Ok... trying to purchase this rotating pintle hitch again. We'll see what the direct-customs/import costs might be. I'll let you know what the final dollar amount comes to, and how long it takes to get here. We'll see if this goes through this time, or if it is a "strike - two!". If figure...

To the best of my knowledge, I have never overextended the limits of my pintle hitch/lunette ring set-up in all the years I've been running it. And I've taken my trailer on some pretty wild off-camber off-roading/overlanding trips. I just think it would be nice to have the option of having...

I ordered it (Dixon Bate hitch) this morning. And then this afternoon I got an email from the seller/eBay saying: "Hi, full refund. Uk delivery only. US customs may charge 50 to 100 GBP plus. Will re-list. But if you have a UK delivery address. Sorry for any inconvenience." Bummer...

Both ends of mine are currently fixed. The lunette ring is fixed on the end of the tongue, and the pintle is fixed in the receiver. Nothing rotates by itself. I depend on the slop between the two to allow the trailer to twist on its axis. Figure the more slop (side-to-side twisting movement...

Ok; so I ordered the Dixon Bate hitch from the ebay seller in England (they got back to me pretty quick). Came to a total with tax and shipping of $296 in US dollars. Should get here early March (today is 25 January). I haven't heard back yet from the other two sellers I contacted. I'll keep...

I agree. I take mine off-road a lot, and don't really hear much clanking. It is worse if you don't have much tongue weight. Regarding a rotating pintle hitch (aka Dixon Bate or NRC2051 hitch): To pintle or not to pintle? | Page 2 | Expedition Portal

That is pretty cool. Same idea as the Dixon Bate without the ability to fix it in place so it doesn't rotate. Haven't really figured out the advantage though of why you wouldn't want it to rotate (given the option) other than maybe when initially hooking up the trailer's lunette ring? Does...

It has been a few years since I seriously looked for a Dixon Bate (NRC2051) hitch. I've been wanting one for years, but really hasn't been a priority, and my current old military pintle hitch is working fine on and off road. But being bored (and kinda on lockdown with having Covid) I did a...

Actually, you do want some slop in there. That's what gives it the side-to-side (or "twisting") capability if using a fixed pintle and a fixed lunette ring. You want movement in there. There probably is a defined proper size for the two - I just don't know what that is. I'm sure there's a...

Not sure I'm understanding the question. Are you asking about this thing slid into the 2" receiver: Or this unit bolted to the trailer tongue that includes the 2" receiver tube: I made the ball coupler (top picture) that slides into the 2" receiver hitch thingy. Was simple with 2" square...

Thanks for the compliment! Like one of the previous posts above, I also use this in the front of my trailer's 2" receiver hitch for the lunette ring: Buyers Products Company Tow Eye Receiver Mount, RM1225E at Tractor Supply Co. So listen up... you want the best of both worlds? You want a...

Been using a pintle for over 10 years now. Never had an issue. Better off road than a ball hitch. And I have crisscrossed the country multiple times with no issues or complaints.

If you do be sure and post pics. Velcro... why didn't I think of that?

I use mine just to heat up the tent a bit before retiring for the evening, and then run it a little bit before getting out of my sleeping bag in the morning. I put it on a cookie sheet. I have lots of ventilation/cross-flow in the tent too. It sure makes a difference just the little bit I run...

Here's a thread for you: Coleman Campstove Oven carrying case? | Expedition Portal

I bought this hose for my Mr. Buddy heater. I figure if it'll work on the heater (which also uses the 1lb greenies), then it should work on my other items that use the 1lb cylinders. Haven't confirmed it though (gosh darn it; those greenies are just so convenient to use in my other...
