Can you help or advise me please.
I have a 4x4 and pull a Swift 490sel van.
The problem is I can not hook up with the spare wheel attached, so every time we go caravanning away my Pat has to struggle to remove the spare wheel (only joking) with me.
So I did manage to higher the spare about 2 inches but we found that this obscured the back window but did let us hook up.
Looking through the Towsure catalogue and I see a drop down plait that lowered the tow ball by two inches and I have noticed that the van when coupled up is a bit higher at the front.
Is there a height that the van should be when towing and can anyone see any pitfalls to this.
It would lower the tow ball by two inches and the Al-Co handle would not fail the spare wheel.
Thanks for any help

PS. may have posted twise, sorry.
