Hi
I've never had a tow bar before and would appreciate some very basic advice (most of which is not PHEV-specific). I don't have anything to tow at the moment but am thinking I will get one or more of the following:
simple small trailer
caravan
sheep trailer
horse trailer
tow bar mounted cycle carrier (and I understand that these can sometimes be used whilst towing depending on tow bar and trailer)
Given the uncertainty, I want the most flexible towing set up - am I right in thinking this would be a "twin" electrics set? I gather the 7 pin set would be the most limited and would only cope with basic trailers. Is there anything about the PHEV's electric's (e.g the small 12V battery) that restricts what can be used on trailers (internal light on a horse box for instance) that I should be aware of?
How sturdy are the removable tow bars? I imagine this is a daft question but I don't want anything that has any chance of detaching when towing!...
Does anyone have a tow bar and cycle carrier combo that enables you to tow and carry cycles - any that you recommend?
At the moment, I am looking at the Witter tow bars through PFJones that someone else has recommended but wanted a little more info before I call them and sound (correctly) completely clueless!
Thanks in advance
