tow tow tow the boat....

Post by edoh »

in the unlikely event of ever needing a tow -
or needing to give a tow -
where are the towing points on the van?

i have a 'rigid' tow bar - in the back of the van -
but where would it attach to?

Image

in the front between the spare wheel and the horn - there is an 'eye'?

Image

in the rear -nothing obvious i can see - like an eye - just an old unused tow bar?

Image

Image

nothing obvious?

any /all suggestions welome -

+ what kind of car van - cc/power- would be required to tow a bulky 20 year old chubby hi top?
(the van - not me!)

could our vans tow most cars/ light vans?

Use the tow bar to tow
the eye is for being towed
the van weighs nearly two tonnes so most cars could tow it.

in answer to your question......

you have no rear tow eye because it is removed to fit the towbar.

these vans will tow like a little train ( unless its the gutless diesel)

I recently had to tow a big range rover with my 2.1 auto.
The van was ok, but I really noticed the extra weight.
