Towbar newbie question - Westfalia 323051

Hi guys. So I know nothing about towbars. Reasonably unlikely to use mine too. But when I bought mine RR in Feb, it did not come with the end of the towbar. I'm sure it has a proper name btw. Newbie like I said!

Also posting a pic of the electrical connector. Is this a good set up? And can I get any end to replace the missing end?

I see bits on eBay reasonably cheap. What type should I look for?







Mainly just want the set up complete, as I said no towing planned.

Thanks!

. Cheers, Greg

You are missing the swan neck tow ball.
The electric - a 7 pin adapter is plugged into the 13 pin socket.

Depends on what you are towing as to which hook up you will have.

Thx Clivefog.

Do you know can I get any swan neck tow ball?

In terms of the electrics, I guess the 13 is better. Thanks for identifying. Cheers, Greg

Great thx guys. No not in the floor RH cubby. Btw should there be a plastic liner in that cubby? I have bare metal.

Thanks for the link to the one for sale. It's not something that I need so I'll prob hold out for a bargain on eBay. Or one with the box since it's missing.. can I fit any swan neck? Some around £50 if it's universal. Cheers, Greg

No idea about other swan necks.

Are they all created equal? Not sure I'd fit anything but the Westfalia one, but I'm not a towist... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Agree - The cheap ones I've seen are westfalia. Just not off RR's. Now I know what I'm looking for, I'll dive into eBay.... Cheers, Greg

Been looking on eBay. There are a few Westfalia swan necks there, does anyone know can I fit any old detachable neck?

There are ones for Audis, Ford Galaxys etc etc . Any towbar experts out there?

Thx! Cheers, Greg

unless you want to take the risk of your caravan overtaking you get the correct tow bar which locks on to fitment
