Do you know the model numbers?

Hi i dont know the model number, what it is we have bought a new van and my husband cant remember if it was red or blue and i asked well whats the differance and he didnt know either, another thing will he have to change his towbar on his jeep? i hope not as thats going to be a pain as we have to take our van with normall stabiliser home(as its in storage in somerset) and collect our new van with the alko stabilser on from dealers and put that in storage, all the same day

oh i am confuseing myself now.

hi if its the alko stabiliser you need a long neck towball on your tow bar the number is 1385401 type UN 2 52 D MAX LOAD UP TO 150 KGS,RETORQUE M16 BOLTS TO 210Nm,bolts 8.8.you may need longer bolts,cost about £20 plus fitting

I think the only thing you will need to change is the "Towball" the alko one is an extended Towball, so all you need to do is take the alko one with you and some spanners to fit and swop it when you get to the dealers, the dealer will probabably do it for you, Ok.

Hi Debbie

If its an Alko (red) then they recommend a special towball

Unlike a standard towball it is important that it is kept free from grease.

Oh i see phew panic over, i dont normally worry myself with things like that (i leave that up to the hubby) i will look clever tomorrow when we are off buying a new towball and i can tell him all about it lol.

Thanks everyone

ps just had a look and its the blue colour one on our new van.

Debbie

If its the Blue one its probably the Winterhoff WS3000 see the link to download instruction manuals, I don't think you need to change the towball with these.
