towing eye (hook/whatever)

camping at weekend. lovely campsite spot but lots of rain. When we went to move off on sunday the wheels just sun on the grass. A helpful landrover chap offered to pull the van off. search for towing eye (2020 Peugeot Boxer based Warwick Duo - bought new). Guess what? there it wasnt in the box containing the jacking equipment. Anyhow, another helpful motorhomer had one. The camping community are so nice btw! job done.

here's my question. in the excitement i didnt note the length of the towing eye. back home now so i will order one but should it be short or long? Both seem available and does it matter?

cheers

good idea.
thanks

You could have tied the rope around the wipers
Rich..

Actually I tried that but it didn't hold. Tried the aerial after that. Same.

Thanks. For some reading my towing eye was missing. Donno why because we bought the vehicle new. Sent off for the longer one which I guess won’t fit in that slot. 

Thanks again

So it’s not in the tool kit that’s under passenger seat as my picture shows

no

'fraid not

So have you got the plate to fit if you need to fit the spare wheel 
If you need help I will send a picture of this for you

thanks Glynn.

are we talking about the same thing?

what was missing was the towing eye that scres into the aperture in the bumper.

when you have a new vehicle it has a pdi check and this should have checked the items are in the vehicle  so i was just asking to help make sure you have got the plate if you need to fit the spare wheel. the tool kit the spare wheel plate should have been shown to you on the hand over and would have been seen the tow eye was not in the tool kit if this had been done correctly

Thanks Glyne. It wasn't done properly but I probably wouldn't have noticed the tow eye missing anyway.

Lol. Noted and I will check. Thanks.

lots of tow eye treads did go to L H Tread as Ian has said and is some thing that should be checked
but the Peugeot boxer 290 is a R H Thread and can just be seen on my picture

Cheers, my hobby is old motorcycles restoration. Quite used to lh threads in some applications and wouldn't force anything.  Quite a coarse thread on the bolt anyway so X thread would be hard to do even if you tried but thanks.

towing eye arrived, fits nicely in the jack box. thanks for the photo. mine looks complete now.

cheers all

That’s what we are here for to help
