I have seen a full length of van ,rope held in two ground pins and a lead secured to it this seems to me a better option ,as Dog has more free space .
How about the towing eye at the back or front? Just clip a carabiner over it, and save the hassle of stone ground.
Im to slow, barclaybasher beat me to it.
No proper towbar.................Towing eye on van?
No proper towbar
No that, the eye to be towed is welded to the chassis at the back on one side, and front. Sometimes front you have to screw it in near the bumper. This is more common on cars. Vans usually are welded or bolted to main chassis. My van has them. You donāt need a tow bar to be rescued.No proper towbar

Thatās risky, could backfire in no dinner and other perks.Much more fun securing the rope round the leg of the wife's sunchair and waiting for a cat to past!
True... however I didnt actually say I was brave enough to do it.... although I did tie it to my own once and by god the jolt wakes you up!!!!!Thatās risky, could backfire in no dinner and other perks.

As I posted one before, we once drove off with the dog's lead hooked onto the towball. We thought everyone was just being friendly, waving and shouting at us! ( The dog was fine- just a little out of breath!)....... We've got a tow Bar on this motorhome new to us last January so that is the best for our big boy - see if he can pull that out

I did that with a horse tied to the side of the horse box! - luckily I looked in the door mirror and I was driving slowly! Bless him he was just mooching along beside it and no harm doneAs I posted one before, we once drove off with the dog's lead hooked onto the towball.

Have you managed to get the biting problem under control yet?We're planning ahead to when we can finally get away and wonder what you use to secure your dog outside the motorhome.
Don't want to hold Bruno on a lead all the time so thinking of a spike in the ground unless someone's got a better idea please.

My thoughts are the sameFollowing a couple of screw-in type stakes breaking, I got a couple (got two dogs) of straight spikes (see Amazon 'Karlie Feed Stake'). Unless the ground is very hard, they can be just pushed straight down. They've lasted about eight years now, and the only thing I've done to them is replace the top nut with a 'self-locking' one. Just one of these stakes can hold two 30kg excitable golden retrievers.
However, having said all that, if there's a suitable tree or post in the vicinity, then I just wrap a cable around that. The problem with using your vehicle's tow-hook is your dog will be at the back of it whilst you're at the side or front.
He's getting better by the day thanks and so are we. Learning to understand his moods and when and why he's going to start with the nipping.Have you managed to get the biting problem under control yet?
