FLANGE TOWBARS
The most popular towbar is the flange type with the bolt on ball. (2 bolt fitting). This offers a range of ball heights, the ability to change the style of tow-ball. For example: pin and jaw, greased ball or a dry AL-KO stabiliser ball, you can also add a bumper protector, a bike rack or a blade type stabiliser.
SWAN NECK TOWBARS
The swan neck towbar is slightly less obtrusive but is set at a fixed height. It is very neat and is preferred by the Europeans. You do have to remember that most accessories cannot be added to this type of bar.
DETACHABLE TOWBARS
The detachable towball is very neat and extremely unobtrusive when not in use. In fact with a detachable towbar, it is very difficult to tell from the rear that it even has a towbar.
AL-KO HITCHES
When towing a caravan, a stabiliser is designed to reduce pitching & snaking. This is often caused when you are overtaking or being overtaken.
The AL-KO can be recognised by its red handle or its blue WinterHoff.
If your caravan is fitted with an AL-KO type stabiliser, then you will require an additional AL-KO-compatible towball, with an extended neck that enables a more secure and stable connection. The head of the towball should be taken back to bare metal to allow for metal-against-metal grip, and should always be used completely grease-free. This is recommended by AL-KO, and failure to adhere to this recommendation could invalidate your insurance in the event of an accident.
