The main thing is tha load capacity of the hitch,
check that and the towing capacity of the tug (both the ball weight and pulling capacity). If either one of those are outside the limit then you have no insurance.
I don't know your caravan or tug so I can only comment in general terms that may help others as
well.
The HR connection is adjustable and has about 6 to 8 positions to mount the towball at the correct height, if your tug is lower then the hitch may be turned upside down to get more adjustment .
If your tug is very heigh due to lifted
suspension there is a longer drop HR bar available and you should have no problems to get it level.
Once you have the correct height you need to adjust for the correct leveling force.
The HR hitch has about 12 adjustment in the hexagonal plates.
HR does not wear much if you lubricate it!!!!!! use silicon spray or something similar.
If it squeks, lubricate it.
All you have to worry if the caravan is high , that you may not get the boot open.
Have fun and take your time to get it just right!
It makes for a much smoother and safer ride!

PS there is no swaying with my setup and I have been dragging the caravan at 110km/h where it was allowed without any problems.
The loading of the bars makes the difference !
you need to have a good tension on the bars, that helps to remove the swaying.
