Fist time towing a tin tent | |
So the full fat was put to the test of bringing a twin axel van back from Skegness to south lakes due to issues with daughters car. Having the deployed towbar I'd seen the hitch assist mentioned in the blurb, reversing up to the hitch I stopped & selected hitch assist to see a single yellow line appear slowly getting close it then zoomed in with a red dot which positioned me hopefully right under the hitch. Got out.... wow it worked, then boot open pressed the raise button which lifted it onto the ball, no weight on jockey wheel so lifted that, lower car back down, electrics on and pressed bulb check, cycling all lights whilst stood at the rear. Blooming brilliant.
Return journey 26. Something 1600kg load. Even reduced speed indicator on dashto 60.
