I've had a quote from caratow ref fitting an A frame to the car.
Any body used them and if so any comments or observations appreciated.
(Please don't turn this into an A frame debate)

I refer you to the OP's original comment!
Only if used to carry a generator in the boot of the car , haha.Are they legal in Spain?
My Car a Tow frame has been sold and we have changed to a toad from Towbar2towcars with the electronic braking system which I think is much better and safer than the overrun brake system.I think Brian @icantremember has a car a tow a frame for sale.
We had one fitted on a fiat, when we got our new Smart car a tow wanted £650 to put the bracket on the car and do the wireing.
But as we spent a lot of time in Spain we went for a trailer.
And to be honest preferred it, no wear and tear on the car, and we did have the brake cable stick and boiled the brake fluid on the car, very lucky it never caught fire. Bob.

I used the Car A Tow system to tow a Diahatsu Terios. Crude? Or simple and effective? With simple but effective overrun systems the harder you brake, the more effective the braking system is.I went for the much more expensive Smart Tow A Frame which is a lot more sophisticated in the way it works. The cable operated no servo assistance A Frames are a lot cheaper but crude in their operation. Have you ever tried using the brakes on a car when the vacuum has run out on the servo? That is what is happening with the cruder A Frame cable operated brake overrun systems. I believe they are reliant on the motorhome for braking effort.
