Tow Bar to a Mercedes MLT Anyone done it ?

[Brains]

We have a 2018 Hymer MLT 570 on a Mercedes Sprinter base.
Has anyone had a tow bar fitted to a MLT or a MLI ?

If so, who did you get to do it ?

Our local and large towbar fitting outfit (Trident of Kent) have declined without even taking a look, and are unable to recommend any other company.

The 4x4 version of our van, and the newer Crossovers, which are basically the same van/layout, but use the 2020 onwards new Sprinter base have the option of having a tow bar fitted.
So the fitting does exist.
But other than contacting Hymer, who will no doubt charge a figure with a comma in it, just for the parts, does anyone know of anyone that would quote to fit a towbar.
I don't know if it's a standard Mercedes van part or not.

Bit far away from you but contact Mick Parkinson in Freckleton ( Near Preston) custom made, stop over and *do* Blackpool and the Fylde, the illuminations start at the end of the month Search him in the search engine for reviews by funsters

Best bet is to send him an e mail, or call his mobile, if you ring him on the landline and *mum* picks the phone up its not guaranteed that she will remember to pass the message on . He used to offer a car for the day so you could explore the area but there are good transport links in the area anyway.

FYI for anyone reading this in the future.

The part is not a standard Mercedes Sprinter tow bar bracket.

P F Jones, who are based in Wigan, Manchester and Stoke, but also have mobile tow bar fitters all over England and Wales apparently will fit one, but have asked for photos before they quote.

If I go ahead I'll fill in cost and who did it.

Went doon the village but it was gone, hopefully will see it about, have an old autotrail cherokee t4 based with a large overhang and want to put a tow bar on it, the Ml-t has a similar length overhang so was interested in finding out specs
