| Re: AL-KO AKS3004 Triple Pack for Towing Highly recommended, have had a 3004 on past two vans, easier to use than a blade type and very effective,

| Re: AL-KO AKS3004 Triple Pack for Towing They have pads in the hitch head that clamp to the ball, which prevents snaking and pitching. You hitch up as normal then pull down the long handle on the hitch head - this engages the pads. The hitch is dry, no grease, and the towball should be kept dry and clean too. Having used both sorts I prefer the hitch head type. Far easier to use and just as effective, if not more. Alko isn't the only type available. Some makers use the Winterhoff. Works on the same principle.
