Towbar options.

Sorry if this is covered somewhere else, but I did a search and couldn't find what I needed.

I'm considering borrowing a mates caravan for Carfest, but I don't have a towbar on my 2007 S/C.

I've had a look at the back and I have a tow eye on the right hand side and there's a female plug for the electrics, but I can't see anywhere for a tow ball to slot in.

What are my options? I know there's a detatchable towbar available for the FF - but how do I know if I've got the right plumbing for this?

Bit confused about what I'd need to buy....thanks in advance! Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

Nope, don't have one of those.

I do have the electric (13 pin) connector, but can't see anything for a tow bar. Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

I assume that this is the plug for the electrics -

And there's a Westfalia metal frame at the back which the towing eye is part of, but I can't see anything central for a tow bar / two ball. I just have 2 holes on either side like this (top of the photo is the back of the car) -

That is part of the mounting bracket. There should be one each side with a horizontal bar running between them. Normally in the middle of the bar is a square hole for slotting in a tow bar. The hole may be filled in with a square plastic plug with Land Rover written on it. If you have that fitted, just prise the plug out with a screw driver or similar. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE

The two brackets that are removed, when fitting a towbar, are also made by Westfalia

So it looks like I might have part of the kit, but not all of it.

I'm missing the horizontal bar. Hmmm.... Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

The bar doesn't look like it will remove. The whole lot appears to be welded. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE

Nope, the towbar is a 1 piece item.

Ok, have sorted it. I need Westfalia part no. eBay Item No. 323074600001 for the tow bar and then I need to buy the tow ball too.

Too expensive for one weekend...

Anyone with a towbar want to swap their car for an S/C for the weekend in August? Laughing Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...
