Tow Bar

[Lagotto]

Need some help regarding a Tow Bar for my 2016 AT Imala 620. I am quite able to fit myself if I can buy a complete kit. Any advice on types/suppliers, are there some that look better than others?

Thanks, what is meant by "not short overhang" would that be my 620?

Try Towtrust for your towbar. Great to deal with and very competitive with pricing.
I always buy from them direct.

That means the distance between rear wheels to the rear of the body. Tow-Trust didn’t mention model numbers. A phone call to Tow-Trust will confirm fitment. Like many businesses At the moment though phones go to voicemail. Go to Webb page and email them ( Part number TAUT5)

Will be towing a motorcycle on a side loading motorcycle trailer.

Yes, I was looking at the TAUT5 from Tow Trust, but looks like out of stock, possibly another stockist might have one.

From another current thread it seems you need to check that your V5 shows braked and unbraked permissible towing mass at O.1 and O.2. I was surprised to learn that some motorhomes have no capacity for towing.

What happens when you reject a new motorhome?

So - I have sent my letter rejecting the motorhome because the VIN plate and C of C do not give a towing weight therefore, as it cannot tow my Picanto, it’s of no use to me. Obviously the dealer was aware that towing was a thing we always did. My solicitor has also sent a letter and I am due to...

Yes, that was a complete surprise to me too. However, my V5 states both braked and unbraked figures.
