Towbar for Fiat Ducato Motorhome and Panel Van

---

Trailer Hitches, Electrics and Frame Extensions for Campers and Buses

The history of the Fiat Ducato as a base vehicle for motorhomes is a decades-long success story that has made the Ducato one of the most popular base vehicles for motorhomes in Europe.

The origins of the Fiat Ducato as a motorhome base go back to the late 1970s. Fiat launched the Ducato in 1981 as a light commercial vehicle and its versatility, reliability and reasonable price quickly made it an attractive choice for motorhome conversion.

Over the years, the Fiat Ducato has been continuously developed and adapted to the changing needs of the motorhome industry. The availability of different body styles, wheelbases and engine options has enabled manufacturers to build motorhomes of different sizes and features based on the Ducato.

The combination of the Fiat Ducato as a reliable base vehicle and the creativity of motorhome manufacturers has resulted in a wide range of motorhomes to meet the needs of travellers. Whether a compact motorhome for couples or a spacious motorhome for families, the Ducato has proven to be extremely versatile.

As a towbar dealer, X-CAMPING has made it its business to supply the wide range of vehicles and vehicle variants with the appropriate towbars.

The variety of Fiat Ducato models and their towbars is enormous. The vehicles can be grouped on several levels, e.g:

• By generation:
  • Fiat Ducato I (First generation, 1981–1993),
  • Fiat Ducato II (Second generation, 1993–2006),
  • Fiat Ducato III (Third generation, since 2006),
• By body type:
  • Panel van - Standard version of the Fiat Ducato, often used as a delivery van or commercial transport vehicle,
  • Platform cab with single or crew cab,
  • Chassis with cab - consists of a chassis and cab only and is often used by companies as the basis for the construction of specific commercial vehicles, motorhomes, camper van conversions and other special bodies.
  • Minibus: The Fiat Ducato is also available as a minibus or people carrier.
  • Motorhome: Based on the Fiat Ducato, there is a wide range of motorhomes from different manufacturers.

At X-CAMPING you will find a suitable facility for all these vehicles. You can either search by model and year for panel van, cab chassis and buse, or by motorhome body manufacturer (e.g. Adria, Bürstner).

Vehicles without additional bodies (panel van, box van, camper van)

Choosing the right towbar for your Fiat Ducato is relatively simple and consists of three main steps:

1. Body style. Selection of the appropriate body type for the vehicle e.g: box van, panel van, cab chassis etc.
2. Generation. Select the production period of the vehicle or type: I, II, III, 280, 290, 230, 244, 250, etc.
3. Wheelbase. The variance of the Fiat Ducato was also noticeable in the length of the vehicle. The lengths were designated L1, L2, L3 and L4 for the Ducato.

Determining the three parameters to find a suitable towbar and electrical kit is straightforward. For such vehicles, a vehicle-specific towbar and electrical kit can usually be used.

Vehicles with additional body (coachbuilt design, A’class)

If you have a Fiat Ducato with an additional body, e.g. motorhome (partially or fully integrated, car transporter, crane, tail lift or similar), you can only use a variable towbar. We offer a wide range of variable towbars - rigid and detachable with different release mechanisms. The full range of these products can be found in the category: Universal towing hitches

Vehicles with bodies that are longer than the Fiat Ducato chassis usually require a frame extension. This applies particularly to coachbuilt and A-Class vehicles.

Frame extension

A frame extension is a load-bearing extension of the base vehicle and provides a load-bearing base for the towbar.

A frame extension is vehicle specific. Therefore, the following parameters must be determined in order to find a suitable towbar with frame extension and electrical kit.

1. Generation or type e.g. 280, 290, 230, 244, 250, first generation, second, third,
2. Chassis type: Normal, Fiat low frame or flat frame (Fiat Camping Car Special "CCS"), ALKO,
3. Length of the overhang.

In this category you will find the most popular motorhome bodies with the Fiat Ducato as the base vehicle. Simply select the appropriate manufacturer, e.g. Adria, Ahorn, Bürstner, Challenger, Chausson, Dethleffs, Eura Mobil and the body type of your motorhome, e.g. Camper Van, Coachbuit, A'Class, to go to the next category where you can select the year of manufacture of your motorhome.
