Couplings
For caravans with electric brakes that require off-road articulation, top coupling options include the AL-KO Off-Road Electric Coupling, the ARK XO Extreme Off-Road Coupling, and the Cruisemaster DO35/DO45 (which integrates with the electric braking system via wiring, not the coupling head itself).
These products offer the necessary articulation for rugged terrain while being compatible with electric braking systems.
AL-KO 3.5T Off-Road Electric Coupling
An Australian-engineered solution that offers a high degree of off-road articulation while working seamlessly with a standard 50mm tow ball and your caravan’s electric brakes.
- Pros: Uses the standard 50mm tow ball, features a quick, easy hitching design, has tough, zinc-plated components for durability, and is fatigue-tested to 2 million cycles.
- Cons: Like all ball couplings, some forum users suggest pin-style couplings may offer greater strength in extreme rollover scenarios than ball couplings.
