Just increased my payload by around 60kg! (1 Viewer)

I took the tow bar off.......
We never used it, and are never likely to in the future, so decided it should come off. Took me about 5 minutes to unbolt it all and drop it to the floor, then about 10 minutes to carry it into the garage!

It might make a difference to your insurance... I've seen on here that having a tow-bar reduced the premium for one individual... my guess would be lesser risk of body damage from reversing or small rear bump perhaps!!.. although generally insurance logic defies all things normal..!! IMO.

@Fletton That looks a nice campervan in your avatar. How often do you have to re-felt the roof?

I thought you were going to say you'd started leaving the other half at home

Not as often as ...that other well know make ...

The towbar isn't mentioned on the insurance, it's an aftermarket fit so removing it won't make any difference.
The avatar is our old RV, we now have a smaller eurovan
Mrs A, 60kg? Only in her dreams......

Worth notifying your insurance that you have removed it. They are strange animals it may even reduce your insurance. I know with the Landy if I changed the wheels for after market my insurance goes up, I changed the radio from the land rover standard fitment to one with full hands free etc. There is now reduced cover on the radio if stolen. Fitted a heavy duty steel bumper with a powerful winch for self recovery. Notified the insurers and waited for the surcharge and no that's fine no charge. Its all on the insurance now.
