Welcome - FYI the Brink detachable is exactly the same as the LR one, so look for Brink

I fitted one of these http://www.towbarandtrailercentre.co.uk/in...uctId=1281 with the dedicated wiring kit, its the same towbar as Land Rover fit but cheaper.

Pathetic CG, absolutely pathetic, probably goes back to your old school report which was covered in ''Must try harder''........ 92 minutes since nick f's post which clearly related to caravans.

I've installed the Witter detachable towbar. Comes with electric wiring made the the German Westfalia (at least the instruction booklet is the same as the one sold by Westfalia)

If you don,t go along the LR dealer route can recommend Rotherham Towbar Centre who are Brink agents. Regarding macphersons comment about the Alko handle being close to the bumper I always place a large sponge between that and the bumper when hitching and unhitching. |

I also have a Witter detachablet towbar, which has proved to be excellent. I have a 2008 Bailey Senator caravan with the Alko stabalizer system and STC trailer control and it all works really well, with no problems at all. Can't think what the dealer was talking about.

Hi Asinrute thanks for the coments did you use a witter dedicated electric wiring or a Lr kit and what do you think twin seven pin sockets or a single 13 pin socket my caravan has twin 7 pin plugs but i`ve seen a 13 pin socket on ebay which allows you to wire both the black and grey cable into one 13 pin socket

Mine has the Brink Detachable fitted as Mcphers has said no problems with the Alko hitch and without the LR dedicated wiring kit. Was your dealer getting confused with the fixed bar with the bolt on flange as to having to buy a seperate Alko ball to get the clearance required

First the tow bar and a single seven pin socket, Work was carried out by a Witter dealer and they didn't use a LR kit. Then a second grey seven pin socket was added later when I bought the caravan, again the fitting company just used their own wiring. As to 2 X 7 0r 1 X 13, I would fit whatever the caravan has, if you change your caravan you can always get an adapter. All i can tell you is that my set up works perfectly with the Alko running gear on my caravan and I have had no problems whatsoever. Hope that helps FL2 HSE Sumatra black with body kit |
