Boost the practicality of your motorhome with a towbar
Want to make your motorhome more versatile? One of the challenges of motorhome travel is feeling tied to the campsite—either you’re without a car to explore nearby attractions, or you have to pack everything up just to head out for the day.
A professionally fitted towbar is the perfect solution. Whether you want to tow a small car, trailer, bike rack, or even extra storage, a towbar increases the practicality of your motorhome and helps you make the most of every journey.
We specialise in motorhome towbar fitting, providing tailored solutions to match your vehicle and lifestyle. With expert installation, premium parts, and years of hands-on experience, we ensure the right towbar is fitted to your exact make and model—giving you complete confidence on every journey.
If your motorhome was registered on or after 1st April 2012, the law requires that any towbar fitted must be Type Approved under Regulation 55. This ensures the towbar meets strict European safety and quality standards.
We supply and fit a full range of EC Type Approved towbars from leading manufacturers. Every installation is carried out by our trained technicians, giving you peace of mind that your towbar is safe, legal, and built to last.
Key Features of Type Approved Towbars
These towbars are a safe, reliable option for most modern motorhomes, and in many cases are faster to fit than custom-built alternatives.
When installing your towbar, our team will ensure a clean, secure fit. If your motorhome doesn’t already have chassis extensions, we can fit them at the same time.
To achieve a proper installation, we may also need to adjust or relocate certain components beneath your motorhome, such as: Water tanks, Diesel heaters, Corner steadies, Battery boxes or spare wheel carriers, Pipework, brackets, or other underbody fixings.
All modifications are completed in-house by our experienced fitters, ensuring your motorhome remains road-safe and practical.
Many Type Approved towbars are designed to mount directly to factory chassis extensions. If your motorhome doesn’t already have these, we can supply and install the correct extensions during your appointment.
As part of the fitting process, our specialists may need to adjust or reposition underbody components to ensure the towbar sits securely. This is all done neatly and carefully to maintain both safety and usability.
Not always. It depends on your motorhome’s chassis, weight, design, and legislation. Our technicians will check compatibility and advise on the best options for your specific make and model.
You can tow small cars, trailers, motorbikes, and even storage boxes or bike racks (depending on your motorhome’s towing capacity). We’ll make sure you know what’s safe and legal for your vehicle.
When installed correctly using approved parts, a towbar shouldn’t affect your motorhome’s warranty. We always follow manufacturer guidelines to keep your warranty intact.
Yes. Depending on what you’re towing, you’ll need either 7-pin or 13-pin electrics. We’ll recommend and install the right setup for your needs.
Fitting times vary depending on your motorhome’s make and model, but most installations are completed within a day.
Yes, detachable towbars are available for many motorhome models. They’re ideal if you want the flexibility of removing the towbar when not in use. However, unlike on cars, most motorhome owners just opt for a fixed towbar on a motorhome.
Yes, most insurers require you to declare a towbar as a modification. It usually won’t increase your premium, but it’s important to inform them.
The towing limit depends on your motorhome’s chassis and manufacturer specifications. We’ll check this before fitting and explain your safe towing limits.
Yes, we can provide mobile towbar fitting depending on the circumstances. If you’d prefer a mobile service, simply let us know when filling out our contact form, and we’ll confirm if it’s possible for your location and motorhome.
It depends on when you passed your driving test and the weight of what you’re towing. Most drivers who passed their test before 1st January 1997 can tow heavier combinations, while those who passed after may be subject to weight limits. We’re happy to advise on towing rules to make sure you stay legal and safe on the road.
