    Caravan Towing with Disco

    Exporting Elldiss Oddysey caravan to Oz when we emigrate later this year. Will buy TD5 Disco in Oz to tow it around Oz (will be a "grey nomad") Can I hitch direct to Disco or do I need some sort of "cushioned" hitch to protect caravan chassis? (Seemed to be an issue a few years ago)
