Moncayoman Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hello again my forum chums ! Thinking of splashing out on a cycle rack and maybe a wind out awning on the M/H. No idea how much these things will cost so when I get a quote I may not be as keen then ! Anyone ever used Towtal ? Their website seems honest and they say that they can fit these things whilst u wait. Once again your wisdom is being called upon. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenewellhome Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thanks for the plug Roy but I don't do towbars. Might be able to help with the awning though ;-) D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J9withdogs Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Moncayoman isn't plugging Towtal by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeaflight Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I am not sure if Towtal is being plugged or not, but for other than towbars I would'nt touch them with a barge pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have had an experience then or just rumour? Spill the beans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moncayoman Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Good evening all. Just to clear up here - never used Towtal - and not really after a towbar. looking to get a bike rack fitted and maybe tempted by a roll out awning. I have no idea of costs of these things to get fitted, and was seeing if anyone recommends or advises me - I just had in my head that the supplying dealer would charge more than a specialist accessory fitter. Sorry if any confusion here folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeaflight Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 My first Hymer had a tow bar fitted by them very pleased no problems did it while I waited. Being new to m/h's I was not to happy about drilling holes etc, so I had a reversing camera fitted at the same time, nice guy who did it. However workmanship IMHO poor (Did me a favour now I think about because I thought I couldnt do any worser job, so now I fit most things myself) an example, where the hole was drilled for the wire for the camera to exit the rear of the van, instead of a nice neat grommet to seal it against the elements entering, I can only describe it as " silcon was gobbed into the hole". However that was not my main concern, after a few months the camera developed condensation and the picture had a red haze, so at my expense and time I took the camera off the Hymer and drove to Stoke on Trent (they knew I was coming) 160 miles round trip. I arrived to be greeted with distain and told by I believe the owner "don't think we got any in stock" meaning cameras. He keep myself and friend who came for the ride waiting 25 mins while he shovled papers around and us standing in front of him and after dissapearing in the back for a further 5mins he returned with a replacement camera. I am guessing but it didnt look that new. Anyway that camera lasted only a few months, so I replaced it with a Camos, no further problems. Most company's have problems from time to time with goods or whatever failing, thats life, but IMO how that company deals with you when this happens thats what counts.

Miami Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have dealt with them a few times and although it is all a bit rough and ready everything was done to my satisfaction.I agree you take as you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
