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?

That front one is a towing eye, fine to use providong there is no corrosion around it!
On the back, mine is just above the exhaust pipe outlet but it may not be the same for all models.
My van has had to tow a large Nissan 4x4 recently and didn't complain too much!
