My car is through the motability scheme and so any towbar has to be fitted through the dealer but this is extortionate.

Well it's all food for thought. I've emailed a local towbar fitting company who have fitted tow bars onto vehicles where I work to see how much it will be and i'll get a couple of other quotes before we make a decision. I like the idea of joining up with a camping group and doing the rally thing but had discounted towing so didn't really think it would be feasible!

Try Indespention tow centres for fitting a towbar, they are a Motability approved workshop, and fitted one to my brother in laws car for towing his big mobility scooter around on a small trailer when he visits family in Lincolnshire.

Motability do ask that the towbar is left in place at the end of the 3year contract though, something I believe to do with 'making good' any holes and connections ect altered when the towbar was fitted. As B-i-L changes his Ford focus every three years on the Motabilty scheme, he too complains about the added cost of buying a new towbar everytime.

Im sorry but the only site that i know of that does a tow-on storage service is in North Wales, as far as i know Nottingham is not very well blessed with its share of tourist campsites, especially near the city centre, the main areas for sites are around the Sherwood forest and more over towards the Derbyshire peak district areas where the supply of seasonal pitches and storage seems abit more plentiful.
