In Feb 2023 we travelled to Freckleton, which is just west of Preston, to have a tow bar fitted to our Mobilvetta motorhome. We have a 4.4 ton Fiat Ducato chassis and the work was being done by Mick Parkinson who is an extremely experienced man in this field with 30 years experience of designing and creating towbars on EVERY motorhome imaginable.

Mick owns 'Motorhome Towbars' at ...

The chassis needed strengthening before the towbar can be added and this film shows you the whole process from start to finish!!

Hi Just watched your video on fitting a tow bar to your Motorhome & your recommendation of Mick Parkinson I live down South & have been quoted rediculous prices to have a tow bar fitted to my Burstner Nexxo on a Fiat Ducatto chassis so have contacted Mick for a price & hopefully it will be worthwhile to make the trip up . Thanks for the informative vlog .

Well done Bob on that choice of tow bar and the very obvious experience of the individual completing the work , man after my own heart ! Watching with interest on which two wheel transport you go for 😊 As regards your spare wheel situation when we bought ours I was fortunate to obtain a brand new steel spare from our local Fiat Dealer as like you I will not have a vehicle without a proper full size spare. In fact Bob just bought on eBay a full size spare for Trudi’s Abarth 595 and on our way to go and pick that up. Carry on the good work both looking forward to the next one 👍 Paul

Hi I am planing on following in your footsteps I have reserved my pitch at AMADRIA PARK CAMPING IN ŠIBENIK CROATIA I wondered if you and your good lady could help me with the route you planed to travel through Austria Slovenia and up to plitvic lakes I’m told for my Kontiki tag axel. I would have to pay £94 each way through Austria Could you be so kind as to send me a route list and the sites you stopped at on the way down to Croatia I have watched most of your videos of your trip to Croatia and it looks great so on the late sat ferry 12 august we are off hopefully with your advise and route list Thanks to you both in advance Keep up the good work I

Hi Bob, we had a towbar fitted in Britannia towbars in Swansea and I don’t think we’ve got the reinforcing is that you have. I’m going to get under it tomorrow, and I’ll have a look to see how strong it looks.
