Because they experience constant strain, tow balls and receivers are one of the worst affected parts in a caravan trailer. When you’re out on the road, you’ll rarely encounter any sudden shocks. The outback is an entirely different animal, though—this Aussie terrain constantly bombards your tow hitch assembly.

More often than not, it’s parts of the towing mechanism, like tow balls, receivers, and safety chains which break down and stall most trailer-tuggers in the flatlands.
