Oz Glide DO35 Suspension Hitch (Scorpion MK2) | Review and Install | Caravan Tips

[@sunsetsundertheawning]

We put one on our 2007 Kedron in early July. It's an awesome hitch and really saves my wife from being thrown around every time the van hits a bump in the road. The handbrake relocation was a bit of a pain, but with a 16 year old Hyland Hitch I had to go out and invest in a rattle gun to get the old hitch off! Allen's a top bloke to deal with, too.

Hey David & great to hear your enjoying the glide! Haha I’ll say, 15years worth of road grime sure will seize some things up 😂 Yes you are dead right there, a great bloke and very passionate about the product 👍🏼

[@discoveringwa2204]

Great vid mate. You are a very well spoken presenter for a bloody truck driver. hahahaha. I am jst about to go on a 10000 km + tow over the next 8 weeks and am seriously thinking about the upgrade. Keep living the dream you two.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Haha thanks mate!! Its a great piece of kit, really comes into its own on the rough tracks!!

[@Kachel94]

This hitch looks like a game changer for towing heavy vans! Great review guys!

[@our.australia.trip.]

It seriously has transformed the way we tow, honestly the amount of energy it absorbs is unreal. 🙌🏼

[@shanehirst3964]

Yep we we travel with a light truck as our tow rig the Ozglide was a game changer for us so bloody good..

[@our.australia.trip.]

Awesome to hear Shane, absolutely essential when towing with something as rigid as a truck!

[@Robbo1956]

We've just taken delivery of ozglide. We are looking forward to seeing how it goes.

McHitch is back in business for good after sorting a few issues so no one panic🤘🤘 Finished watching - man oh man what a bit of gear, I’m sold, we’re gettin one! Awesome review guys and awesome footage of the coupling whilst working in the rough stuff✊

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks Chris! It truly is magic 😀

[@sleepingaroundfromtowntoto4312]

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed the review 😁

[@PeterLongworth-u8d]

Good review Thanks. Looks like a good unit

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers Pete, a great bit of Aussie innovation & engineering 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@johnnyclark4548]

Awesome review. My OZGlide is waiting for my van to be build and cant wait to bolt it on. I went for the black one 😂 Cheers Johnny&Rene

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks Johnny & Rene! That's awesome to hear mate & glad you enjoyed the review.. The black looks awesome. Though the blue is sure to catch the eye & spark a conversation!!

There's a 50mm ball you can get made by American company called curt, supposed to do a similar job as this hitch, obviously on a smaller scale, I do plan to try it, there about $100

[@darylkingham3127]

Hi guys. Looks great. Do you run weight distribution bars. We picked up our XC5 mid April and looking forward to some big trips in a rew years. Any feed back would be great. D

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hi Daryl, thanks for tuning in! No WDH for us, the ozglide wouldn’t work with it anyway. We do a fair bit of off-road stuff and believe if your suspension is setup right for towing there is no need for the bars. We do travel full time so the rig is setup solely for that purpose, a bit different if the tow rig is used for running around town etc where the WDH has its perks!

Hi guys, we tried to share a link to your main channel page on our community tab and had a bit of a problem. Your URL has a full stop at the end and KZbin dropped it off when accessing the link causing an error. The solution was to add two full stops to the link on our comment. Just letting you know in case someone else wants to share your link and has an issue with it on YT.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks for the share! Yes there is an issue there we are aware of. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Unfortunately someone has the @our.Australia.trip handle 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@wolftiedemann-jh8wg]

Thanks Brad, I did say previously that I was looking at this system so your review video is of value, Just a couple of things - what air pressure is put into the airbag? Is there variations to pressure set-up pending weight of the van being towed?

[@our.australia.trip.]

The airbag pressure is dependant on caravan ball weight I believe. You just inflate the bag until the holes for the lockout pin line up & that is the correct pressure for your trailer. 👍😊

[@1890cooper]

$4,990 plus delivery for the DO45. I still think i might spec it on my new van

[@robertgiffin9672]

Hi guys, it seems your not running the oz glide on your new van. Any reason why ?

[@michaelblake4442]

this is something that i am definitely considering for my setup which is almost exactly the same as yours, $3200 is a lot of cash especially when i already have a new DO35 (bought for $385). Do they sell a version that comes without a DO35 so you can just add your existing one?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hi Michael, call Allen on the number in the description & he will be able to answer that question I’m sure! Safe travels mate 🤙🏼

[@KarenFarmer-u9e]

How much to fit a DO45 hitch and when is it available

[@our.australia.trip.]

Not to sure mate, stay tuned on the ozglide Facebook page. Will probably be your best source of info, otherwise give Allen a call mate & I'm sure he could help you out.

[@hanskanis7526]

Just curious about the price, looks like a good system

[@our.australia.trip.]

$3200 including delivery Australia Wide. I mention it toward the end of the vid 🤙🏼

[@hanskanis7526]

@@our.australia.trip. i just realised that, jumped the gun a bit haha cheers mate love the videos 👍

[@Dan-rg7jj]

Nah come on. What about for us tradies towing for work all day backing into rough driveways up and down curbs. That's not a price for us. I was thinking somewhere between $500 and $1k. Why don't they make a budget version for the working man?

[@our.australia.trip.]

After dealing with ozglide, I know if they could make it in Australia cheaper they would. Thing is the DO35 is worth than $500. Add the Airbag & shocks you would be getting close to $1000. That’s before even taking the r&d, engineering, ADR approval, steel cutting, bending and fabrication into consideration. Simply put you couldn’t dumb this down for a ‘budget version’ without compromising performance or load ratings. Also buying an ozglide you are supporting an Australian made and owned product which is just the cherry on top for us.

[@cruisin_our_country]

Cheers Brad. I've been waiting for this review and you sure did answer all my questions. Now decision time I guess

[@arturorodgers4220]

Promo SM 😃

[@troyharpley6358]

Looks like more to go wrong

[@our.australia.trip.]

Its quite simple in design, ozglide do back it up with great service and customer support too.
