DO35 dust cover thief.........
« on: September 14, 2013, 06:53:45 PM »
Dragged the camper out this morning to finish off the electric over hydraulic brake install

I had to pop out to grab some bits and pieces........I looked at the hitch and thought no point taking it off so I popped the dust cover on....got back from bunnings and the dust cover is missing

I only ever fit the hitch when in holidays.....cannot believe 1/2hr in a car park is all it takes, could only have been another DO35 owner.....grrrrrr

Not knowing anything about that hitch but could it have just fallen off??? Or is it a miracle when you want it off type thing?

Snug fit, absolutely no way it could fall off, unless the cover wasn't pushed onto the pin all the way. Thief scum, their turn will come one day.

Mine pops off really easy. I don't put it on anymore.

Mine is a tight fit. No way it would fall off.

I think mine sits in the storage bin reserved for recovery gear, until I read this thread I had forgotten I had it.
