I've just bought my first caravan and need to get a towbar on my mondeo 57 plate, the previous shape. Flange, swan neck or detachable????? There are cost issues but is one type any better or worse than another???
Shucks, I only clicked once.The 'advantage' of added protection in the case of a minor shunt if the towball is in place can easily turn into a disadvantage if the shunt is a bit more severe. All the force of the shunt is transmitted straight into the underbody of the car rather than being absorbed partly by the bumper. This can result in the chassis sheet metal being bent and that is very costly to repair.
