I drive a Volvo XC 70 with a Volvo detachable tow bar fitted. The caravan dealer has informed me that the height to the centre of the ball is too high. When the car is empty and on level ground, the distance to the centre of the ball is 19". The dealer informed me that the height to the centre of the ball should be between 16-1/2" and 17". Due to the height of the ball on my car the van is raised at the nose when towing. Has anyone come upon this problem before and also does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a swan neck detachable tow ball with a height 16-1/2" to 17"
We tow a 2005 Bessacarr Cameo 495SL and are experiencing problems with the van in that when driving over rough roads the van really thumps down on the suspension which in turn is transmitted to the car.A new axle and shock absorbers was fitted last year, the problem is still there.
