Rollerteam746
I am about to take delivery of a new 2024 Rollerteam746 on a Ford could anyone have an idea what I should be paying to have a tow bar fitted. I am being quoted 1850 which to me sounds punchy. Any info would be greatly appreciated
 
I would say 1300 based on two bars fitted to my last vans. That was before covid, Ukraine and Truss.

Where are you?

Get a quote from LNB

As a guide, on website prices currently range from between £950 and £1,950 depending on what is required.
Hope that helps :smiley:

If you get offered the option of a generic wired one (which are much cheaper) or manufacturer specific wired one, go for the specific one.

Don't try to save a few bob on a generic one that isn’t compatible with sensors etc

🤦🏻

I have used Lnb previously for toe bars self levelling and towmaster systemsand it is them that have quoted 1850.00 but seeing what David and Sally have said I guess I am living in the past.

Guessing too late to include as part of the purchase deal?
As another thought, 6 berth @ 3,500kg gross is there load capacity for a 50kg towing bar?
Thanks for this yes deal is done. Payload of 550kg and only me and the boss occasional Grandaughter. So should be ok.

We definitely paid less two years ago. Mick at SAP fitted ours. Worth a call I suggest.

What’s the towing weight being a Ford, last year I had to strike Ford based vans off my shopping list as most had towing weights between 0 and 1,000 kg, there were the occasional exception?

Interesting the 2024 Rollerteam 746 on a Ford, GVW 3,500kgs can tow 2,000kgs giving GTW 5,500kgs meaning it can tow 250kgs more than my Ducato based Kon-Tiki 599 @ 4,250kgs GVW and 6,000kgs gtw - 1,750kgs towing.

Option for none C1 holders to buy lighter GVW van and put "stuff" in a trailer, probably not the wife and kids though.

CONFUSED. does this mean I should be concerned

Are they quoting for fitting uprated chassis extensions as well as the actual tow bar and electrics? If so the uprated extensions are about £650 to buy, tow bar prob £350ish plus electrics then I would estimate half day fitting. If the quote is just a tow bar then it does sound a lot.

Seem to remember reading the Ford Transit had a towing weight of only 150kg. Apparently it’s something to do with the Auto gearbox.

Provided the kgs are correct for 2024 Rollerteam 746 on a Ford then nothing to be concerned about.

Yes thanks for this it does include the chasis extensions. I am going to grow up and order it this morning

Have you tried Ace towbars. I had one fitted there last year at a very good price. Based in West Swindon.
