*PLEASE VERIFY YOUR TONGUE DIMENSIONS PRIOR TO ORDERING. READ BELOW FOR FITMENT REQUIREMENTS*
Our swivel hitch heim coupler has revolutionized motorcycle towing safety and performance. The swivel heim coupler allows 360-degree pivoting beyond a normal coupler rotation for improved safety when towing with a motorcycle. This complete kit includes the swivel coupler with heim joint, hitch post, rubber cushioning washer, and hitch post lock (2nd Picture shows everything included with the complete assembly). The swivel heim mounts into the trailer tongue and the 3/4" hitch post (with 3/4" mounting stud) mounts in place of the ball on the motorcycle hitch. This swivel is made of high-quality materials including an aluminum block housing, high tensile stress-proof steel shaft, and stainless steel hitch post. This listing does NOT include the chains and mounting hardware as these items can be reused from your original coupler setup. You can add chains and hardware to your order by selecting them under the individual parts list.
FITMENT REQUIREMENTS: It is your responsibility to confirm fitment to your trailer with the provided dimensions. The swivel coupler will fit all Kompact Kamp Trailers, as well as any trailer tongue with an inside dimension of 1-3/4" x 1-3/4". The swivel bolt mounting holes should be 2-1/4" apart in the tongue. This 3/4" swivel heim is NOT compatible with Bushtec's 5/8" swivel coupler or hitch pin. Read more about the use of a swivel on our blog article here.

If you love motorcycle camping the Mini Mate is for you! Light and easy to tow, sets up in just a few minutes, and easily has plenty of room for one (and I'm sure lots of room for 2 and all the things you need to camp. Pulls really easy (Vulcan Vaquero) and stops really easy too. I'm 6'2" and I had plenty of room to stretch out while sleeping and also in the little "dressing area" inside the door. I think the awning is a must and it is also plenty tall. Overall this camper is one of the greatest, best things I've ever bought! I highly recommend it!
My camping trailer was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Uncrating was simple and assembly was easy. The video provided online was most helpful. No parts, nuts or bolts were missing. I am extremely happy with the entire order/delivery process and quality of the camper. Its' hard to describe just how easy this thing tows. Suspension is great. Does not bounce. I keep checking my mirrors just to make sure it is still connected to my bike. Its a perfect match for my Goldwing.
I bought my mini mate this spring. Picked it up on a Friday morning and headed home. I took the skyline drive (105) miles, and the entire blue ridge parkway (469) miles. My total trip was (1965) miles. The camper was great, it rained four of the six nights I camped but not one leak. I love my camper!
