We can advise you if your vehicle needs a bumper cut and whether it will be a visible or an invisible cut, together with the dimensions.

Many vehicles come with colour coded bumpers or sport kits and therefore a small aperture may be needed to allow room for the neck of the towbar. However, some towbar manufacturers supply a bumper insert or cover for this.

While some vehicles do require bumper cuts, these will be almost invisible to the naked eye and unproblematic in terms of looks, functionality and warranty.

No. We are able to provide an enhanced quality service and fit a wider range of products at our fully equipped and specialist towing garage.

We can provide a courtesy car while customer vehicles are being fitted.

When ordering your towbar you have two wiring options available.

1. A universal wiring:

Universal wiring or bypass relay is a relatively simple and cheaper system which allows your vehicle lights to function whenever you connect to a caravan or trailer.

But does not integrate with the car’s computer systems and sensors might also invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.

2. Dedicated wiring kit.

A dedicated or vehicle specific wiring kit is designed to integrate with all aspects of your vehicle, whatever the make and model. Modern cars, vans, and motorhomes are highly computerised and technical with a multiplicity of features and applications. They will only work smoothly and effectively via dedicated towbar wiring kits. With a dedicated wiring kit, you get the following safety features (depending on your vehicle specifications):

Trailer stability control: ensuring the stability of your caravan or trailer when traveling on uneven surfaces, cornering or driving at speed.

Brake electronics: improved braking efficiency and safety

Suspension system: safety features taking account of increased weight and the variable dynamics of the towed vehicles.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS): operational on the towed vehicle

Lighting: towing vehicle reverse fog light cut off together with warning signals should the lights fail.

Parking aids: deactivated when towing

Cruise control (adaptive): sends signal to car’s computer system facilitating greater braking and stopping distances necessary when towing a caravan or trailer

Won’t invalidate your warranty

Unfortunately no. Due to our insurance conditions and for health and safety reasons we cannot fit used towbars which must withstand lots of forces while towing. Should it fail the consequences can be serious, resulting in accidents, injury and sometimes loss of life!

Please note also! Fitting a non specific towbar and wiring kit can invalidate your car insurance and warranty. At Motrhome.com we fit only European Community and manufacturer approved towbars, so warranty invalidation is not a problem.
