Who fitted your towbar and did they do a good job?

[daveclare]

Hi All,

We've decided to get a Smart car and tow it on a trailer. So first steps first, keen to find out about the above. Charlie the 70IB plus Labradoodle is too big to fit on the Vespa!

Many Thanks.

These guys have fitted two tow bars for me. Very happy withthem

with motorhomes built after 2012, you must use a type approved towbar, which for some motorhomes are non existent. If your van has the ALKO chassis, there is a standard one that marries up to the existing holes in the chassis rails. But with some you also need chassis rail extensions

Thanks. You'd think he'd made enough money out of the chat shows

I made and fitted mine in 2009 and it’s still on and working

I bought and fitted a type approved towbar on our MH.
The towbar itself only took less than an hour to fit, but the towbar electric and canbus gear took another 3 hours. Half of that was trying to read the piss poor instructions for the wiring.

As above , I had one fitted by Mick Parkinson , drove to his workshop for 8am , he gave me a car , day out in Southport , all done by 2pm

Mine is a 2007 so he made a towbar for it , galvanised brackets bolted to the chassis then either just a towbar or a towbar / bumper

I went for the latter , it's very well constructed £400 fitted with electrics

Another endorsement for Mick Parkinson at Freckleton. Good service at a fair price on our Pilote P650.

Gone and the last time I passed, the unit was empty

I fitted my own bought from P F Jones complete with wiring loom and control module for my current VW T6. The module needs coding to the BCM (Body Control Module) which I did with VCDS.

And yes of course it was fitted correctly!
