Fixed towbars
COST EFFECTIVE TOWBAR SYSTEM FOR REGULAR USE
The fixed towbar is the most affordable towbar system and is ideal for regular use. Westfalia-Automotive offer two different types of fixed towbar, the swan neck and flange.

SWAN NECK TOWBAR
The swan neck towbar is the most common type of towbar used across Europe. With the swan neck the tow ball and the neck form one piece of the towbar. This type of towbar is becoming more and more popular in the UK due to the appearance of the towbar looking neater and with it having a slimmer profile to the flange towbar it is less likely to trigger parking sensors.

If you want to tow and attach a cycle carrier at the same time, the swan neck towbar will not be for you. Be careful though, you must add together the weight of the bikes and the nose weight of the trailer, the two added together should not exceed the maximum nose weight stated by the vehicle manufacturer.

The swan neck towbar can also be used with an ALKO or BPW stabiliser without the need for modification. An additional towball will have to be purchased that is ALKO compatible if you are fitting a flange towball. If you are using a stabiliser with built in friction pads it is essential that all paint and grease is removed from the towball prior to use.
