Towbar fitting 54 plate volvo v70

Hi all

I am about to fit a towbar and caravan towing electrics to my car

Towbars seem about 100ukp upwards (I need a flange type to use existing bulldog stabiliser)

Any brands/suppliers to avoid

Fitting looks a doddle

Caravan is 12n +12s

I am thinking 13pin kit from volvo £129 + vat inc 13 pin to 12n/12s adaptor lead rather than the cheaper universal with bypass relay

What does the team think about the electrics?

Regards

Hi Thanks for this

I looked on the witter site and could see the kit however I could not see how to buy a towbar from the they only have buy and fit do the sell only to the trade?

"TMC" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

A quick google for "Witter V70" finds a whole stack of suppliers...

First one seems to be cheapest (and flange)

Hi Adrian

Yep have been looking at those today and found towequipe

however their total price for a dedicated 12n/12s electrics was much more that witters (Almost double in fact)

It was cheaper to buy the 13 pin kit and an adapter lead from them but still more expensive than the 12n/12s kit from Witter

I was thinking therefore buy the towbar from witter and save on the postage

But I can't find it on their site

Now it all makes sense

I was misled by the witter site

I had searched on my reg number to get the price for the electrics of £86 but thought it odd that they did not offer a 13pin option

so I then did a search on the vehicle make and model which came back with £150 for a 13 pin and £180 for a 12n 12s

Towequipe and P F Jones are looking front runners now
