Choosing the right towbar

There is a huge choice of towbars designed for towing caravans on the market. Choose wisely to achieve the perfect link between towcar and touring caravan. The modern car design is so complex that the days of buying a towbar ‘off the shelf’ and bolting to the back of your towcar are long gone.

As part of our guide to caravanning, we've created this handy guide on the different towbars available.

Information

We advise that any towbar you choose should be manufactured and tested to the European Standard R55. Such a towbar will fit to all the car manufacturers' specified mounting points.
