I'm about to order a new BMW X5 with a manufacturer fitted towbar. Will the tow ball itself need to be compatible with our Elddis on an Alko chassis, what will i need to specify? Has anyone else got an X5 with a factory fit tow bar what is your experience? Also, how do they find it as a tow car? Thanks in advance.

Although I don’t collect my X5 (nearly new with a factory fit electric Towbar) until later this week, I am assured (verbally and in writing) that current/recent factory fits do have standard UK fridge-compatible wiring. The sales manager of the BMW dealership was aware and admitted that historically they were not wired for UK market but this had changed. Not sure of timescales of such change but - unless I get a horrible surprise on Friday - thought this comment may reassure some folk.
