Stanton towbar
by Nye7 Sun Jun 30, 2019 1:00 pm
I’ve searched but can’t find anywhere that will or can fit a towbar to a 2017 Stanton. I even tried a number of stands at the NEC motorhome show but with no luck. I was told by one company that there are new EU regs which mean it’s nolonger possible to fit one. I’m not wanting to tow much - just a small trailer with my scooter on. Anyone managed to find somewhere that can help?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Watling Towbars list it although it does say chassis extensions need to be fitted.

Had a reply from Watling. They quoted me £1,230 to supply and fit a towbar.

It would appear that it's the extensions that cost more than the towbar. Roadpro list the extensions as being £549, so no wonder you are being quoted prices in excess of £1200 Inc fitting.

Also, check your V5 logbook. If it does not quote a figure for section "O" max permissible towable mass of the trailer, you will be able to fit a towbar, but not be legally allowed to tow anything.
If no figure quoted, get in touch with SV-Tech.
Good luck
