If you are looking for a rear tow bar, then there are several companies making them. Witter and Brink to name just two.

Either that buy one of eebuygum and ask them to post it - same piece of kit - but not sure of the laws in US

Maybe not as simple as that Gerald.
If you buy a trailer hitch in the UK it will either have a fixed ball or will be drilled to take a bolt-on ball. Our towballs are 50mm and you can't buy a 2" bolt-on ball to fit our bars. I used to import boats from the States and I used a bolt-on clevis type hitch in place of the ball and then had a pin made with a 2" ball on the top of the pin.
Of course, if you had a UK type of hitch it wouldn't be too difficult for somebody handy in Ga to modify it to fit it with a US style ball.
You wouldn't want to buy our electrical kit to connect the lights, though, because our systems are totally different. |

I stand corrected didn't realise differences exist

Neither did I until I had my first US boat and trailer sitting on the docks in Bristol and the 50mm towball (on my very first Trooper bought for the purpose) was too small to trip the latch on the trailer coupling!    |
