We are planning on getting a caravan this year......yes I feel disgusted, but my partner has had a taste of a 'van' and doesn't want to go back to camping frown

Therefore we need a tow bar for our Jeep, are there any fitters you would recommend near to Basingstoke or Stourbridge?

Thanks!

Not local but I'd recommend Witter as a brand. Really top notch engineering.

I got a removable one but I probably wouldn't bother again. Too much faffing around.

I used bespoke plug in wiring looms for mine, more expensive but worth it for ease and hearing horror stories about canbus wiring being messed up by scotch locks!

All bought from tow equipe on eBay.

A simple enough job really but quite time consuming.

Yes Witter are the best IMO.

I think my detachable was about £320 for an XC90.

Brink are sorted too. Fathers had them on several cars, and I used to work for a fitting place.
