Towbar appeal

[Tigertom]

We have a Hymer b588dl and I’m thinking of having a towbar fitted to it but they do tend to spoil the looks of the rear end, ahem, although some towbars seem to be less obtrusive ( ugly) than others.
Has anyone with a Hymer had a towbar fitted by Mike Parkinson, Lancashire Towbars, what are their thoughts on his towbars looks.......maybe some pics?

We had a towbar fitted as it had to be type approved but I had some stainless tubes put on to make a bumper and I think it looks ok.

WE never tow despite having a tow-bar on the van. But it makes a bloody good bumper bar if you, ahem, misjudge your reversing.....................!

Ours is a Towtal, painted white and blends in well. Those chromed bars look the DB's.

i like that a lot, were the bars extras.

Getting the bar fitted came to £750 as the chassis’s extensions were factory fit it was a straight bolt on with corner bracing,
I had the stainless bumpers fabricated at my local stainless steel fab shop all fitted on original fixing points so has no effect on type approval cost around £550.

Me too. It's invisible other than the tow ball itself. His workmanship is superb.

I sent photos of the chassis and underneath area of the motorhome. I think he gave me a quote from that , it was about 6 years ago but I'm sure it only cost me around 300 quid.
