Hi all, planning on returning to towing this year after a break of 20+ years and how things have moved on with motor movers and inflatable awnings !! so a few quick questions then, I've priced up for a towbar to be fitted ( just under £600) detachable with no bumper cut involved. Which socket set up is preferable these days the old 12N and S dockets or the new fangled 13 pin gismo ( I know adaptors are available for either) any preferences on stabilisers, are some built in to the hitch now ?
I will be towing with a 2ltr manual diesel convertible which like me is getting on a bit and will soon have it's 100k mile birthday, but both of us are well maintained and still go well so hopefully a light weight 2 berth van should be ok for me to tow and Herman ( yes he's German) to pull, I plan to keep below 80% of kerbside weight too. I'm sure there's loads of questions I've forgot to ask so any helpful ideas are appreciated.
Thanks. peter.C
