Tow Bar Options - Box Trailer/Scooter/Enduro (Portugal or UK)

[MrDean]

Morning,
We currently have a fixed flange towbar fitted which is in need of some TLC (the brackets to the Sprinter donor vehicle are very corroded & we have been advised to have them replaced). We would like to future proof for requirements so replacing the brackets may not be necessary if the whole unit needs to be swapped out to meet this. (we are not towing at the moment).
Currently we would like to carry a 125cc scooter or maybe a 400cc (ish) enduro. Later down the line this maybe superseded by the need to tow a box trailer.
We are currently in Portugal (between Ourique & Albufeira) and back to the UK in Q3.
Any suggestions and recommended suppliers/fitters appreciated.

My thought is first of all find out how much load you can put on towbar before back axle, or vehicle becomes overweight. It may inform your decision on rack or trailor. Above link may help.
