DO35 V3PLUS Cruisemaster 3500kg - No Handbrake 7/8" Tow Pin

The Cruisemaster DO35 V3 is a 3.5 tonne all-terrain coupling built for heavier caravans and modern weight distribution setups. Forged steel, laser-cut stainless steel, high-quality polyurethane and precision casting combine for a coupling over 50% stronger than the previous model, while removing the need for hitch adaptors.

High articulation in every direction keeps the trailer tracking true over rough terrain and adds a safety margin if things go wrong on the road. A simple positive locking mechanism secures the coupling — once locked, the Checklock cap fits over the top with an audible snap, keeping dirt out and giving a clear visual check it's properly attached. The patented tow pin and view port make lining up vehicle and trailer straightforward, even in technical terrain.

Compatible with weight distribution hitches (including dedicated WDH adaptor kits for Hayman Reese systems), with a maximum downward drawbar load of 350kg before tightening.

Handbrake options: models with "-I" in the part number include an integrated handbrake; "-R" models have the handbrake removed. Where drawbar design restricts an integrated handbrake, a remote or side-mount handbrake is available separately.

Fitment: choose 7/8" (AU) or 1" (US) tow pin thread to match your tow bar.

Maintenance: keep the tow pin and universal clean and lightly greased, lubricate grease points regularly with multi-purpose lithium grease, and flush with water if the locking mechanism doesn't open freely due to dirt. A full check every 10,000km or 12 months is recommended.

Covered by a 3-year warranty, extendable to 5 years with free online registration.

Note: the DO35's E-Coat finish resists corrosion well but may fade with extended UV exposure over time — this doesn't affect performance. If stored outside, covering the coupling when not in use will help keep the finish looking its best.
