As a result of our continuous product improvement policy we are delighted to showcase our newest product offering, the HITCHMASTER DO35 V3 Coupling with integrated handbrake. Many of the team at Vehicle Components thought that the DO35 version 2 (DO35v2) was hard to beat, but once again the engineering team have proven why they are the best in the business. The new DO35 Version 3 (DO35v3) is the strongest coupling we have ever made; it even bent our test rig! As caravans get heavier and weight distribution systems more wide spread, we went back to basics to produce the DO35v3 that can handle it all. Forged steel, high quality polyurethane, laser cut stainless steel and precision casting has been brought together to increase the couplings strength yet also reduce weight. This updated DO35 is over 50% stronger than the outgoing model. These advanced processes have also allowed the elimination of hitch adaptors* allowing you to get on the road with less fuss. A challenging RAT Run to Cape York has shown that the new DO35v3 coupling can handle all that you can throw at it, but at its core it still retains the simple drop-on attachment method loved by travellers Australia wide. * Checked on HR Classic, HR Standard, Milford and EZ-lift Highlights Forged yoke for increased strength Checklock cap system keeps dirt out of the locking mechanism whilst giving a visual indication that the coupling is locked Low profile bumper for better clearance Taller, forged tow pin allows for fitment without weight distribution adaptors (also backward compatible) Zn-Ni and e-coat finish for improved corrosion resistance Machined base and bolt lands for consistent mounting and elimination of bending stresses 360 rotation reduces roll-over risk Greaseable bushes 2 Stage ADR Compliant locking mechanism Exceeds ADR 62/01 and 62/02 strength requirements Quiet operation reduces stress and fatigue whilst towing Completed over 45000km of testing including a Rat Run to Cape York No tow ball height restrictions Mounting centre hole to centre hole is 54mm x 185mm BOLTS INCLUDED!!!!
About Outback Equipment:
Outback Equipment was born from a couple of mates with a big idea and an even bigger love for the outdoors. What started in the back of a garage quickly moved to a warehouse corner and now, over 10 years later, we’re running our own full-scale warehouse and showroom storefront in Acacia Ridge, Brisbane.
We kicked off with a fascination for light bars, but it didn’t take long to realise there was a lot more gear to get excited about. Outback Equipment has since grown into one of the largest online ranges of 4x4, camping, marine, and caravanning accessories in Australia. Driven by our customers’ passion for exploring the great outdoors, we’ve expanded our space, our range, and our mission.
Whether you're planning a weekend beach trip or the big lap around Oz, getting prepped can feel like a mission. We're here to make it simple. From expert guides and part finders to trusted advice and helpful customer service, we’re your starting point for any off-grid adventure.
We only stock gear we’d use ourselves. From brands like Aussie Traveller, MSA, CampBoss, BLA, Hardkorr, Superior Engineering, Tuff Terrain and Outback Explorer. With over 250 brands on our shelves and growing, we’re proud to support fellow adventurers at every stage of their journey.
We’re 100% Aussie-owned and operated, with our Brisbane showroom open 6 days a week. Swing by Acacia Ridge Monday to Friday (8am–5pm) or Saturday (8am–1pm), or call us on 1300 854 185 to chat about your next trip.
