Tow ball and jaw unit

Hi all. I have a new XS (Nara bronze, almond/arabica, xenon and HK upgrade) arriving in a couple of weeks and have also ordered the LR tow ball and jaw unit for it. Does anyone know if this will fit a standard NATO hitch Sankey Trailer (the hitch is quite big if I remember rightyly and not sure about clearances). I am also thinking about a Maxx Raxx MXR4 (10MA41) 4 bike carrier to use with the trailer and our caravan (separately of course!) and wondered if anyone had used one of these with this tow ball unit. Any advice gladly received..thanks!

It nowhere near fits, and is far too low.

Forum member RLD makes a tow adaptor to put NATO hitch in the right place - in line with eye on back bumper.

Works well.

Thanks. We thought of various trailers but want to tow it behind our steam ttraction engine as well and a sankey works for that so we may have to take the plunge and have it done somehow.
