Caravanning is an incredibly popular way to holiday with us Brits. In fact, there’s over a million on our roads today and this number is only set to rise as the cost of holidaying abroad soars. Caravans give us the freedom to tour the UK, and even Europe, taking our own accommodation with us. An essential piece of equipment needed for a caravanning break is car towbars. Securely fitted, good quality towbars make towing a safe option. Towing a caravan can be a scary prospect for anyone new to it but remember a few things and you’ll soon be using those towbars at every given opportunity. Remember to take corners wider than you normally would and bear in mind that speed limits are lower when you’re towing. Extension mirrors improve your visibility and if you find you’re holding up other road users just pull over in a lay-by to let them pass. It may be a good idea to practice with your towbars on a shorter journey before embarking on a long drive. Before you choose your towbars you’ll need to think about whether you want fixed or detachable bars. This choice will usually be determined by how often you plan to transport your caravan and both are a safe choice. Detachable towbars appeal to car owners who do not want a sometimes unsightly tow bar visible when they are not towing their caravan. With both fixed and detachable bars you’ll have the choice of a swan neck or flange. Swan neck towbars are L shape and are fixed under the bumper. They are a cheap and popular option for most vehicles. Although still the most popular of towbars, the number of people choosing the flange bar is dropping slightly as they are not considered as neat at their swan neck counterpart. Flange towbars do allow for a choice of tow balls though which swan neck bars do not. The tow ball height can also be adjusted on a flange model; another feature that the swan neck cannot offer.
