A picture might help but initial thought is yes as Alko hitches are no longer new technology, but can you not have a trial hitch up and make sure it does not foul any thing by having a second person walk alongside checking.

I posted avery similar question a few days ago having been thrown into doubt by the caravan dealers. However having towed my 'van with an Alko over 1000 miles without problems I would guess you are ok. eh tu? |

May I suggest you check out Adrian888's post of a few days ago when I hopefully clarified where the I compatability issues arise.

Have to start by saying I claim no expertise BUT I was told that I needed a swan neck tow ball to tow my newly acquired caravan that has Alco hitch and ATC.

If its a Swan Neck hitch be it fixed or Detachable it will be fine with an Alko hitch, if its the Flange type towball it needs checking further, clearance between the hitch and the bumber on articulation and the Alko tow ball will be mounted on a narrower stem.

Must be my iPad, the first link shows a Black towball with a narrow stem, the second is a gold towball on a dumpy stem p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

Hmm on pc the links take me to a page of different tow balls that appear the same but that could just be my set up!
