Have you priced a tow bar up for your 175? Is it a DIY job?

not yet, im fearing the worst and would not be a diy job

Expecting several hundred pounds

You haven’t included the things that use the seats up front

Very reassuring - plenty of leeway which is always nice. Our CV60 (pvc) weighed the same when fully loaded although the weighbridge we used didn't do axle weights.

I put one on my Elddis Encore 255, if you’re fairly handy with spanner’s and fit enough to be under the moho it’s do able, better if you have an extra pair of hands!! Got mine off eBay for £334 included everything needed, plates, loom, towball etc‍♂

When I fitted the tow bar to our van, it took not much more that half an hour to fit the brackets and tow bar itself, but it took about 3 hours to feed the loom through to the front of the van and connect it up and half of that was trying to work out what was what from the piss poor image quality on the wiring instructions.

Out of interest, I note that Elddis have dropped the 175 from the 2021 line-up
I see liads of them, but I guess they gave decided that it doesn't “Fit” anymore

Don't you just hate "Skinny People" would probably have to leave the child bride at home
Or is that 150 kg each????

 

[Cheshirecat57]

I Don't think of us as skinny, far from it

Hi
275 washroom hasn’t got the big shower and the HUGE wardrobe, but agree it’s nearly the same ( if not 10k dearer )

Ha! we are about 125kg together (65 + 60) and are 'slim'....plenty of lifetime sport, football, golf, cycling, walking etc.....lots of eating and wine, too, but doesnt seem to have too much effect. winters in the Spanish sunshine in the van so loads of fish and salad....helps with the payload.
