Any ideas for car suitable to tow behind a motorhome? Needs to have space in back to take a dismantled electric disabled buggy. Plus any one have experience of using unibrake  tow system?

My Aygo was converted by Tow Bars for Tow Cars and I would highly recommend these guys. With that conversion no mileage is added to the car whilst towing.

Towbars2Tow have brought a whole feet of cars for sale to the Peterborough show. As an aside they are working on solving the problems of towing electric cars. I was told they are not quite there yet but they had one, a Peugeot 108, on show equipped with one of their frames. I couldn't get any more than that out of them.

We have towed a Peugeot 107 behind our 2.3l Ducato based Dethleffs for 12 years, firstly with a Smart-Tow electronic system and later with a newer 107 using a Towmaster A frame. The later Towmaster is much easier to hitch up as the A frame is more adjustable and easier to set up.

The 107/C1/Aygo are great little cars to tow as they are light and with the back seats collapsed provide plenty of space for bulky items you can't get in the van. Our new 107 is zero road tax and we get about 60mpg.  One piece of advice through - don't expect to be able to reverse more than a few yards and do fit a camera so you can keep an eye on the car while travelling.  We also have a TyrePal tyre pressure system on the van and car as it is unlikely that you will detect a puncture on the car while towing.  There is a good market for tow cars - we bought our first 107 in 2009 for £6,000 plus £1,500 for the A frame and sold it for £3,250 in 2020.
