You lucky people with your low cost towbars!!

My Witter bar with detachable ball and twin sockets on a Suzuki Vitara has just cost me £386.

Definitely have to shop around.  We have used a local tow bar centre and also Vauxhall for our Zafira but it is a question of ringing around where prices are concerned.-------------
It better be nice this summer - I need a good holiday.

Just had our Renault written off - rear ended but thank god we had a towbar on!

Thinking of having a Zafira.  Wondered what you think of the towing capacity and how much (Approx) you paid for a towbar?

Hi,

Just to add to the South Wales list - as well as a couple already mentioned, I've known Alan and Louise at Llanelli Trailer Centre (01554 773608) very well for a few years and can vouch for them (although I don't know exactly what they'd charge).

All the best,

JT

HappyCamper2004 - thanks for the list. We ended up buying roof bars and roof box from Indespension. We talked it over last night and just couldnt afford the towbar/trailer option (never mind having no where to keep the trailer when not in use).

Thanks for all your help everyone, your advice was invaluable as always
