Cruisemaster DO35 V3Plus All-Terrain Coupling (3.5T, No Handbrake)
Take your adventures further with the Cruisemaster DO35 V3Plus All-Terrain Coupling. Widely recognised as the market leader for off-road caravan and camper trailer hitches across Australia, the DO35 V3Plus (No Handbrake model) is specifically engineered to handle the harshest Australian touring conditions. Whether you are navigating rugged outback washouts or cruising down the highway, this 3.5-Tonne articulating pin coupling provides unmatched safety, flexibility, and towing comfort.
Key Features & V3Plus Upgrades
-
- Patented “Checklock” Gen 2 Cap & Bumper: Hit the road with peace of mind. The Gen 2 cap creates a tight, secure dust seal over the hitch pin mechanism. Its clever design serves as an instant visual safety check—if the dust cap doesn’t fit flat, your coupling is not fully locked.
- True 360-Degree Off-Road Articulation: Eliminate the binding and rollover risks associated with standard tow balls. The DO35 offers a full 360 degrees of axial rotation and a minimum of 70 degrees of articulation across all other axes, ensuring smooth handling on unmaintained tracks.
- Flexible Under-Drawbar Mounting: The V3Plus features advanced rear support webbing cast directly into the housing. This allows you to mount the coupling upside-down on the underside of your trailer’s drawbar plate, giving you maximum flexibility to align your towing height perfectly.
- Heavy-Duty Corrosion Protection: Built to survive coastal salt air and red dust alike, the one-piece cast housing features a premium combination of Zinc-Nickel (Zn-Ni) plating and an advanced E-coat finish for superior rust resistance.
Built with Safety as a Priority
The Cruisemaster DO35 V3Plus exceeds strict Australian Design Rules (ADR 62/01 and 62/02) strength requirements. It incorporates a clever 2-stage automatic secondary locking mechanism that ensures the trailer remains completely secure to your vehicle once dropped onto the pin.
Its low-profile design ensures impressive clearance, meaning you can easily open the rear doors or tailgates of most 4WD vehicles without interfering with the coupling body. Furthermore, it features greaseable poly bushes for easy ongoing maintenance, resulting in completely quiet, noise-free towing.
