    Nice call and good pickup on both the tent night and the adjustable tow.

    Looks like a good camper mate. Well done.

    It's an off-road camper so should have a treg hitch and I would not worry to much about your lift. If you had a 6" lift maybe but a 2 won't unsettle it at all. It may well sit flat. I would make no changes until you pick it up. If it's a treg then you won't have a ball in anyway and can flip your receiver if you need to or buy another over here. Bring a new male trailer plug to suit your car with you and rewire it when you arrive, it's a 5 minute job, and a sh1t load cheaper than an adapter you don't need.

    Enjoy.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Thanks Muddy and thanks everyone for the feedback. He's marked it sold now so all good. He was waiting for the funds to appear in his account (fair enough too). Some brilliant suggestions and ideas.

    By the way, I had the guy measure from the ground to the centre of the hitch (trailer flat and horizontal) and it came up 530mm. Centre of my tow ball to the ground is 560mm so am happy it will be ok.

    It has 7 leaf "rebound" suspension and Hyland Off Road coupling (Qld made).
