hiya , need help please.

i have a 1994 elddis hurricane  , i have just bought , when towing the van it seems to crash into the back of the car when braking. After looking at the Alko hitch the red one fitted it seems to have a lot of up and down movement.  After removing  the Alko hitch the two bolts holes on the hitch are ok , but the two holes on the draw bar are not , the horizontal bolt hole on the end of the draw bar is now oval and the bolt that i removed has worn down on the shaft. the vertical bolt and hole are ok.

can you fit a Alko hitch to a elddis van  bpw  chassis or does it need to be a winterhoff type , the Alko has been on the van for about 10 years .

ok thanks, the damper was checked out with  jacksons of old arley a caravan shop near coventry.  he said the damper was ok. the shop said  try some new bolts with the old draw bar  but she aint happy with that solution.when i came to remove the Alko hitch all the bolts were really tight . i am trying to buy a new draw bar but finding it hard to find the correct one.

thanks.
