New to caravanning

[Ron_5111155]

I have purchased a Sprite Alpine SV early 1980's for my first venture into caravanning. my car is a Proton "N" reg MPI saloon (1500cc) for which I need to buy a towing bracket. The (large) back window of the caravan is broken, and the fridge has been removed, but as I paid just £125 for it I am quite pleased with the purchase. Can anyone advise me as to the viability of towing this van with the Proton, and where might I obtain a cheap second hand window and fridge? Any advice on any aspect would be greatly appreciated.

Ron,

Best to start with the bad news ..

I think you'll find it very hard to find a towbar for a Proton, Towsure and at least one other dealer don't list them so you would be looking at a custom build if one could be engineered on. They could have been made at one time but I can imagine that Proton Towbars are NOT high on the sales list.

The good news is that if you log on to the Self build motorhome website

www.SBMCC.co.uk your bound to find a list of friendly breakers who sell what you are looking for.

Kindest regards MH
