So is anybody going to discuss ‘split-coupling’ ? *runs out of room screaming *

Don’t do it - end of discussion .
Its complicated and has to many chances for things to go wrong and as such I hate it . There is no reason to be in between a trailer and a unit these days with all these MAVIS rails etc . Why would a company put its workers lives at risk rather than spend a few quid putting a rail on the trailer allowing you to connect the lines from ground level ? Profit before a drivers life - not somewhere I want to work .

That’s if your Mavis rail works/slides. I always split couple with fridges because it easier to get the lines on. However I’d be very wary of doing it if the trailer was facing downhill. Some operators don’t have Mavis rails or swing over arms a la DHL.
