Hi Anna
My Towbar was made by Tow-trust Towbars, and was fitted for £320.00 inc. VAT, including wiring the two sockets needed for my 'van, with feeds for the 12v Fridge and split charging relay for the Caravan battery. It was fitted by a mobile specialist I've been using for ten years, but it depends where you are. I did get a quote from a specialist about 20 miles away of £290.00, but I couldn't get to them at the time I needed the job. It'll give some idea though.
We did have one hiccup with wiring the reversing lamp (it stayed on all the time - soon sorted) and the Rear Foglamp wouldn't work at all until we discovered the engine has to actually be running for it to work and not just switched on at the ignition!
Don't forget, if its your first time towing, that you're bound to wish it had a bigger engine! Don't be fooled! If you've got the weights right (and I reckon you have) then what you have is as good as you need. I fell for it and bought bigger, several times, right up to 3-litres, and all it did was cost money I couldn't afford.
Next, stick it on a ferry!

thank you - that was very helpful! I have been quoted £700 for a detachable and £630 for a swan neck including fitting. I'm horrified it's so expensive and so much more than yours! I'm told that it's entirely down to the cost of the kit for the new generation Hyundai's. Fitting is being charged at £120 by a mobile guy we've used before which I didnt think was bad. I'll give your company a call tomorrow to see if I can source a cheaper kit or we may have to rethink the whole thing....:( Thank you again! Anna
