Hi,
I’ve tried searching online but haven’t found a satisfactory answer. I’m (still!) looking at fitting our fiat ducato based panel van conversion with a towbar, principally for a bike carrier, but it would also do in future for a trailer.
However, the only options I can see involve a tow ball that’s apparently bolted on to the towbar. So what stops some ne’er do well simply shipping up with a a couple of spanner’s, undoing the bolts and refitting the ball to their own faceplate, complete with whatever’s attached to said ball - maybe several hundred quid’s worth of bikes, a trailer and a couple of canoes, or even, for some people, a caravan, ok, for the last two you could fit a wheel lock every time you stopped somewhere. But I can’t see an option for the bike rack. (And we need a tow ball mounted one, not a door mounted one, as we’re 2 adults plus 2 children, door mounts are max 2 bikes.)
Thanks!
Dave
