Hi All,

We are going to get an A frame so we can tow a small car behind our Motorhome

What advice can you guys give about fitting and using an A frame.

What price can we expect to pay to have a car and our MH adapted

What are the pitfalls of having a frame fitted

Can an A frame be fitted to all cars or just newer vehicles

How long does it take to set up and fit an a frame to your car

We would be grateful for any advise because we have never done this before

Thanks

That is true but it does have its limitations. Up to now we have managed pretty well with bus services and from time to time taxis. The problem we have come across with taxis is that if you are in a relatively small place and you want a taxi they are often like hens teeth as they are usually contracted to schools at certain times of days. Campsites near to larger towns and cities taxi services are usually pretty good.

The idea of towing a small car is growing on me having previously not been very keen. I suspect the advent of COVID has consolidated that view. Margaret is, as yet, not convinced! Whatever car we towed would also be our main vehicle so it has to be reasonably comfortable for the odd long journey. Unfortunately it would also have to be manual as I wouldn't want to tow a car on a trailer. Watching this thread with interest.
