Excellent informative video on towing car behind your motorhome we are now on our 3rd motorhome and 2nd towcar combination and agree with all your comments on this subject . When people say well you might as well tow caravan . I always point out you can't drive a caravan with out a car but we can jump in the motorhome and without a car and enjoy abreak with just the motorhome and when abroad if we are based on a site for a time we have hired a car.

Just visited Bobbie and Mike Northeast at Towaframe yesterday to have our Automatic Toyota Aygo kitted out. Thanks to you, Chas and Ads for persuading us to swap the car trailer out for the Towaframe. Dropped it off at 8.30 and by 2.30 we were having a full explanation of how to fit and disconnect the system, how it operates, safety and hints and tips. Cheers chaps.

Hi Bob, As someone who had grandma rights on my licence I let the the C1 licence go when I reached 70. I was never likely to want a MH over 3.5 tons. However, I automatically retained B + E which allows me to to drive a MH + Car or a Car + Caravan up to 7 tons GTW.

Travelling to the Lake District September 2022. Towing our VW UP on a Towmaster 2 A frame. Heading through a town centre at 15mph around a slight left hand bend the original towing eye sheared off with the car smashing into the rear of the MH also catching an oncoming bus. Car was un-drivable, £3k damage all round and a ruined holiday. Nobody hurt could have been so much worse. Conclusion: the original towing eye is for an emergency short distance tow not for hundreds of miles travelling.

A good video thanks
-
Brilliantly explained Bob , huge thanks 😊
-
Thank you Bob for posting these videos, as a newbie to motor homing I consider them to be perfect, they are very well produced and presented.
-
Very informative, great help.
-
Does your towed car get any damage through stone chips coming up from the motorhome. I've just got a Volkswagen Up and it seems a great little car. I just don't want to damage the front of it unnecessarily.
-
When reversing an a frame car, could a second insured driver steer the tow car for the purposes of reversing?
-
Hi Bob, is the weight of the vehicle being towed determined by it's kerb weight, seeing as there would never be passengers in it? I'm at a loss as to getting a definitive answer and not just opinions. Thanks.
-
Interesting Bob in NZ the towed vehicle must have a ladder chassis, we all tend to tow Suzuki Jimnys .Also although there are a lot of European motorhomes here, there is the ability to have larger. Mine is built on a Iveco 7ton chassis, able to tow 3500 kgs . Cheers mate enjoy your videos.
-
Excellent video on A Frames - I didn’t know about the third party reference while towing. When you were testing the Adamo, did you feel less need for a towcar because it was smaller than the Kontiki?
