Whatever Motor Home you are thinking of, you will be adding an 'extra' to the original vehicle. The weight of a tow bar will have to be deducted from your payload, by law.

It honestly does make me cringe when I hear of people giving up towing a caravan because of a bad back or similar! One of my closest friends is a full time wheelchair user who has no muscular control or feeling from his mid chest area downwards, yet he still tows his caravan all over Europe.

I used to own (and built) 2 exclusive caravan sites in the Dordogne, France and did so for 10 years during which time we received quite literally dozens of motorhome owners towing cars either hooked on an 'A' frame or on a purpose built trailer and not one of them was able to reverse their outfits! So what happens if you are out on the open road and have to reverse?

Personally I am with so many of the others on this thread, if you need to tow, then why not have a nice big comfortable car and tow an equally comfortable caravan?

There is a great World to be found out there, but by the very day, to find where it is becomes more of a challenge!

Hi there buzzy beans..
Like you eventually we wanted to tow to make life easier when we were down in rural Cornwall..
After a lot of searching and Reading I followed this route and went and used this website..towingaframes .co.uk
This company did a Sterling job for us and there were some good safety features added into the system that I believe makes them well worth the money..
A unique system indeed.. best value out there I'd say.
Anyway give them a go.. they are up in the Chesterfield area.. so I hope you are not too far from there..
