Bespoke and special design towbars

50 years of fitting towbars to Motorhomes has taught us that many cannot conform to a standard design of towbar. There are simply too many different variations of chassis, extensions, coachbuilders, corner steadies, water tanks, battery boxes and other paraphernalia to engineer around. As a result, we offer a bespoke design and fit service where individual variations can be taken into account. By doing this we treat each motorhome as the individual it is and can also adapt the towbar to the customers needs.

The process usually takes one working day, during which time we will design, fit and wire with single or double electrics, a one-off towbar for your vehicle.

Our motorhome towbars are designed around existing strong points on the original chassis and are based on years of experience with all types of base vehicles including VW Campers, Peugeot Talbot, Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducatto, Ford Transit, Iveco, Mercedes and the increasingly popular Alko chassis conversion.

The nature of this type of design means that it is often difficult to quote an exact price without discussing individual requirements first, but the cost is generally between £530 to £650 inc.VAT.

Unlike some towbar manufacturers, we do as much as we can to minimise the impact of the towbar on the look of your vehicle. This is achieved by hiding as much of the framework as possible, underneath your motorhome. Below are some examples of our recent work.

Background information on motorhome conversions

A standard van with internal furniture, often with a high top or lifting roof and rear door step. Normally identified by steel sides and steel rear doors.

Please note that standard towbars designed for the base vehicle often fit this type of motorhome.

A chassis cab with an aluminium or GRP 'caravan style' body fitted onto the chassis and over the top of the drivers’ cab. Normally the chassis has extensions bolted to it to support the rear of the caravan body.

A chassis cab where the original box section chassis has been cut off at the drivers cab and replaced with an ALKO galvanised channel chassis (usually with large holes stamped into it) from the drivers cab to near the rear of the body. This has an aluminium or GRP 'caravan style' body fitted onto the channel chassis and over the top of the drivers cab.

An 'A' Class where the drivers cab is removed and an aluminium or GRP 'caravan style' body encloses the whole vehicle. Normally the chassis has extensions bolted to it to support the rear of the caravan body.
