Attaching child trailer to Orbea Wild FS 2021?

[Calamity]

Hi all!
I am trying to attach our Hamax Outback child trailer to a Wild FS H20. The trailer normally attaches to a special through axle with an attachment at the axle head.
Most bikes have the thru axle head on the left side and the child trailer attachment arms are always bent to the left to accommodate the rear wheel.
On the Orbea unfortunately the thru axle goes in from the other side so the attachment point is on the right side of the bike which means the trailer arm wont fit.
Looking for some tips on how to attach this mess? Is it possible to flip the hardware in the frame to accept the axle from the left?
Thanks!

Have a look in here, there may be something that will work. Odd frame arrangement? Are you saying the QR lever on the axle is normally above the derailleur? How on earth do you tighten it?

Yes on this bike the QR would be on the right side, it comes with a thru-axle so theres no problem tightening it, but I guess a QR might hit the derailleur. I dont know if its common but I have never seen a bike where the axle goes in on the right before.

So you have a Maxle?

What you need then is the same axle but a bit longer, the extra length being at the threaded end so it pokes out on the left (non derailleur side). This will allow a nut/washer to fix your hitch.

There's no qr lever on the orbea, you just use an Allen key to tighten the axle

Failing that, I’m pretty sure you can get adaptors. This will be a threaded collar that screws into the left hand side of the frame with a 10mm internal thread. You then use a stepped through axle.
the outside section of the adaptor isused to mount the hutch.

Go and find a local machine shop or anyone with a lathe. Give them your axle and ask for the same but with an extra 20mm of thread on the end. Simple.

Good idea, will try this. Thanks!

Just measure the ID of your hitch. You may need the extra 20mm turned down to M10.

Seriously considering buying a Orbea Wild, but this very same issue is holding me back. Did any of the above proposals actually work out?

Attaching a bike trailer without a coupler has become easier for me. Instead of choosing to mount the shaft, I used the seat post hinge. For this process, I considered using Travoy Quick-Hitch points. This is really a great option. When using one of the tie rods, I simply tighten the brace to the seat post and attach the trailer to it. Using this tool is very simple and it can work perfectly with any size of bike post. I have not encountered any compatibility issues using this tool.
