We're thinking of getting a tow bar fitted (or doing it ourselves) but I'm not quite sure what I need as I've never fitted one before - we have a Globecar FamilyScout L on a Fiat Ducato Maxi heavy chassis 6.36m but can't seem to see any distinction between this and others for a 'standard' chassis - do I need a specific one for the heavy Maxi?

I want it to get tow a trailer to take rubbish to the tip etc rather than risk damaging the inside of the camper.

Or more rubbish back home from boot sales:)
We took the Smart to the car boot sale yesterday and it came back stuffed to the gills with bits and bobs, I even had bags in the foot well and on my knee! :D

We do have some inflatable roof bars though which work a treat if we have something really bulky, alternatively hubby has to bring stuff home and then come back for me ... no problem as I can keep mooching round the stalls! :LOL:

Does the requirement for type approval still allow you to fit them yourself? Does it not have to be fitted by someone able to supply the correct paperwork?

I can recommend them. They fitted the one on Mrs Deluxe's Fiesta

I had one fitted on my Honda CRV to tug a caravan.. so had twin electrics .. also insisted on an Honda OEM electric kit .. was very pleased both with price and job..


original quote ..from 2011 .. had the non detachable fitted ...

Thank you for your enquiry regarding the fitting of a tow bar with electrics to your Honda CRV. The total cost would be £300 including VAT for a fixed tow bar... and £438 including VAT for a detachable tow bar.
