Frequently asked questions about Trailer coupling (tow hitch)
Can I install the trailer hitch myself?
Can my trailer hitch be used after installing a load carrier?
Motorhomes:
The existing trailer hitch remains unaffected when a Linnepe load carrier is installed.
If you would like to use the trailer hitch, the Linnepe load carrier can be dismantled in a very short time without tools using quick-release fasteners.
It is not possible to use the trailer hitch and load carrier at the same time.
Van:
Linnepe load carriers are compatible with the removable towbar from Linnepe. All you have to do is dismantle the ball head to install the load carrier.
If you would like to use the trailer hitch, the Linnepe load carrier can be dismantled in a very short time without tools using quick-release fasteners.
It is not possible to use the trailer hitch and load carrier at the same time.
Can the permissible payload of the rear garage be increased by installing a trailer hitch (AHK)?
Do I lose ground clearance due to the AHK?
Do I need a frame extension for my vehicle?
Each motorhome is individually constructed. So that our service team can check whether your vehicle needs a frame extension, please use our Contact form and tell us your vehicle-specific information.
Do you have to pay attention to the trailer loads entered in the vehicle registration document if the existing trailer hitch has a higher trailer load?
The trailer load entered in the vehicle registration document must not be exceeded. This also applies if the D value of the trailer coupling would allow a larger trailer load.
Does a trailer hitch have to be registered in the vehicle registration document?
No. All trailer couplings have a nameplate with an E* number. An entry in the vehicle registration is not necessary, but possible.
As long as the trailer coupling is not entered in the vehicle registration document, the technical documents for the trailer coupling must be carried along.
Does the trailer load change when the load is increased?
The total towing weight of the vehicle remains unaffected if the load is increased.
This may result in the trailer load being reduced due to the additional load.
Example:
Total train weight: 5500kg
Before loading: 3500kg + 2000kg = 5500kg
Towing vehicle: 3500kg
Trailer load: 2000kg:
Total train weight: 5500kg
After loading: 4090kg + 1410kg = 5500kg
Towing vehicle: 4090kg
Towing capacity: 1410kg
The D value of the trailer coupling must also be taken into account:see D value
How high is my towing capacity?
The maximum trailer load of your vehicle can be found in the vehicle registration document at:
O.1: braked
O.2: unrestrained
To check whether we can offer this towing capacity, please use our Contact form.
Is it recommended to also install an additional air spring when installing a trailer hitch?
What is the D value?
The D value of the design has a decisive influence on choosing the right trailer coupling. The D value is the measure of the strength of the pulling device, which is calculated using a fixed formula. However, several factors play a role. DetailedYou can find information in our guide: Trailer hitch motorhome guide
