Towing a car

We have never been charged.  If we go to a non CC site we usually tell them we have a tow car when booking in case they have any charges but with CC that's not necessary.  

PS your post will no doubt trigger lots of posts about 'why tow a car 😏' but we think it's a great choice with lots of benefits and so do many others. Enjoy!

We did the same as you 4 years ago, like you we also tow a car my little Picanto. We have an A frame and have used it abroad but we no longer take it over there, to many problems. we still use it in the UK though. Don't know about other sites in the UK but CC don't charge extra for having a car. Abroad some do, Germany and Holland will charge about 2€ a day and last year in Spain we were charged 2.40€ a day for our trailer which has our trike on it. 

How are you thinking of towing your car A frame or trailer, I ask because if you are going to use an A frame please be aware most countries in Europe do not allow them and you can be fined. Many folk do still chance it we did for a few years but having been stopped twice that was enough for us.

If I may jump in with a question , can you just "bolt" an A frame to any car ,or does the car have to be modified in any way to be towed ??

A few years ago a few commercial sites tried it on, I used to complain and very often got the charge waived, in fact one site decided to  drop the charge from its tariffs as a result of discussions with myself. I have not come across anyone trying to charge for a good few years now so I think it is now generally accepted as being much like a car caravan combination.  If it isn't just tell them you will tow the motorhome onto the pitch with the car!

The car has to be modified. Attachment points have to be fitted to the front of the car to take the A-frame and a means of operating the car brakes installed, over run or electronic operation. The wiring needs modifying so that the MH operates the lights on the "toad" and triangular reflectors should be fitted when being towed. Basically, the car has to become a trailer.

Thanks , is there a ball park figure for this work ? , I know it could be an open ended question 

An electronic braking system is around £1800 all in, last time I looked.

The non electronic version ie over run like a caravan is cheaper by about half, we had one fitted by Armitage 4 years ago total cost £850 the only problem with this version we have is that it is quite heavy to lug around, the electronic ones I believe are much lighter.

Thanks for the answers ,and apologies to the OP for taking the thread slightly off line
