Brian Peters Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 hello all, i am thinking of buying a tow bar for my motorhome, to eventually tow my smart car on a trailer. i had a quote from drh motorhomes in nottingham who are a Burstner dealer, my motorhome is a mercedes based t-star 710 2005 model with an alko extended chassis. the dealership quoted me £850 to fit which seems a bit excesive to me. looking under a van at the nec show with a tow bar fitted, they seem to use the pre drilled holes that are used for my rear steadies that i fitted? does anyone know of a cheaper tow bar fitter, who obviously meets the safety standards, and if the tow bar is attatched to the alko chassis through the rear steady holes, can i fit longer bolts so that i can still use my steadies???? i live in leicestershire but i dont mind traveling to have a tow bar fitted that will safely tow a smart car on a trailer. any suggestions will be greatly apprieciated. many thanks in advance. brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza454 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Brian,If you click search at the top of the page, enter towbar in the key words box, then alter the time limit to one year you should find helpful information there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Lee Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Try Armitage Trailers at Ferrybridge. They manufactured and fitted a towbar for us when everyone else said it wasn't possible. Reasonable price too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
