Need a towbar on the MoHo, but having trouble, as most have moved on from 2006 variants. Watling has now retired, but I am wonering if there is another tow bar specialist who could do the job?

As above (y)

For a 2006 model it will have to be manufactured, New rules came in from 2012 where they need to be type approved and so there are now some off the shelf bars and some chassis manufacturers build ready to take them.

Booked until end of June!! Need it a bit quicker than that
Shame about that, but he does make really nice tow bars so I'm not surprised he's busy.
Hope you find someone to make one for you sooner, however if they aren't that busy there could be a reason for that.

Try Motorhome Tow Bars Lancashire, Mick Parkinson makes tow bars for loads of different motorhomes.
motorhometowbarslancashire.co.uk
I'm booked in with Mick for 19th June. Talked to him on the phone and he knows what he's talking about.
Tired a Towtrust supplier before him who couldn't decide what towbar I needed.
