Towbars for the motorhome

Installing Trailer hitches for motorhome - this is how it works

Traveling by motorhome is an affordable alternative for an active vacation in nature or in the city. Although a motorhome offers plenty of space for your luggage, it is often not enough and the storage space becomes too small. A trailer hitch on a motorhome expands the transport possibilities enormously. No matter what kind of motorhome you have (campervan, alcove, semi-integrated, fully integrated or liner) and on which base vehicle, here you will find a suitable trailer hitch including electrical kit to your motorhome.

In this category you will find individual towbars without electrical kits but also complete sets trailer hitch incl. E-kit and the electrical kits separately.

In the assortment you will find various trailer hitches with different functions and different designs, e.g. trailer hitches with swanneck towball or with a trailer bracket with a fixed flange (bolted with two M16 or with four M12 or M10 bolts).

In addition to the fixed version, there are also removable towbars with a flange towball or with a swanneck. The ball disassembly for the flange ball is realized with a Westfalia changing plates. The removable system of the swanneck variant comes from the company ACS-Systems, which belongs to the Brink Group.  The swanneck hook is removable and has anti-theft protection.

Harnesses for trailer hitches available in this category are both vehicle-specific and universal; available in both 7-pin and 13-pin versions.

From the car brands shown below, select the appropriate base vehicle (Ford Transit, Fiat Ducato) to enter the subcategory with home bodies.

Install frame extension for motorhomes

A towbar on motorhomes is a useful extension that gives a discerning camper more transport options, whether for trailers, bike racks, motorcycle carriers, a transport box or the like.

But when choosing a suitable carrier system for trailer hitch must be considered a few things. Generally, it is about the base vehicle and its frame. In the case of motorhomes that are built on the basis of a bus (camper van), the search is less complicated. For motorhomes with living cabins (partially integrated, fully integrated, alcove or liner), drop-off cabins or other living superstructures, finding a suitable kit is much more complicated.

In such cases, the vehicle frame must be checked to see if the chassis is load-bearing. In the case of a vehicle without a load-bearing frame, a reinforced carrier system for the trailer device is required. Such carrier systems also colloquially called frame extension provide a solid base for a trailer hitch.

In our store you will find complete devices for do-it-yourself installation of all possible variants of motorhomes, whether for the removed van or chassis with or without load-bearing frame extension.
