Oh, those are houses. Mine's just a standard flatbed.

The Euro hitch mount is different than the Us Receiver the. The us receiver is a 2" Id box tube and the ball mount is a 2" Od. box tube. The fit of these components is not a precision fit . The Eu mount is a manufactured part and the fit is much more precise. The noise fix for the US hitch is a rattle stopper like the one pictured below. the other fix is to live on a dirt road and everything will make so much noise that the little slop in the hitch mount will be lost in all the other things happening

Also thought of getting a fiberglass enclosure but it'd be on the way for most of the time.

New to the forum and have something to offer for those wanting to install an RV style vent fan. This is a CNC machined expanded PVC adapter that provides a flat surface for the vent's flange. The photo below shows it offset to one side but it can also be used in the middle of the roof. We also produce these for other vans (Transit, Promaster, Sprinter). The Maxxair vents are popular. Please PM me for more information.

Nice , Galvanized trailers are great from the Maintenance point of view . I have one enclosed 4X6 and an Open 5X8 that I tow behind the TC. Very Handy .

Thats a great looking rig. Check out The Scamper trailer line http://www.scamptrailers.com/showroom/19-standard-trailers.html#!image_04

Wait, does the towball move in the attachment? It should not. I did have some Westfalia towbar in my Civic and it was hard to get to tight because it was based on some eccentric tightening principle but all others have been very tight. The one in my other car is Bosal and it sits so tight that it does not fix itself if there's even one sand grain between it. So it needs to be clean and then just insert, and it clicks, automatically tightening itself:

I towed a small U-hual trailer with furniture in it from Colorado to Missouri with no problems. The hitch was factory installed. If I was to do more towing behave to figure out a way to reduce the "slop" that the hitch has when you insert it into the receiver. It made a lot of noise Hauling a small camper-not a problem- but you will reduce your gas mileage! From the mid 20's at 80 mph down to the high teens while towing at 70 mph

@TC4K9's, check out the thread link below for lots of discussion about the OEM trailer hitch, aftermarket hitches and trailering in general with the Gen 2 TC Hope that helps. http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/topic/3237-oem-trailer-hitch-gen-2-tc/?hl=towing#entry9624

A light weight travel trailer would be ok the if it is 2000 lbs or less would not be a problem. Most light weight travel trailers and pop ups have a single axle, this adds to the sway problem The only thing I would add is a sway controller. These are simple devices that help keep the sway both cross wind and suspension induced under control. The gen 2 has much better brakes then the gen1 a definite plus.
