We have now purchased a cycle carrier and tested and confirmed all lights working 👍

Thanks Rick I haven’t got a Camper and not likely to, so why did I watch ? Well because knowledge is power and I picked up a tip with the cable tie 😁 thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks Rick, that was very handy for me as I recently purchased a new fitted out Fiat campervan (in Australia) and the manufacturer forgot to fit the towbar. I got a refund and thought its easy to get one fitted later on but when I went to the local Fiat distributor they made a big deal about it and said that the internal furniture would have to be removed to do it etc. etc to connect wiring to the front of the van... big $$$. Then I started on you tube and discovered they were only banging on about a power wire connection to the battery and I'm thinking why they either didn't connect to the house battery (in the rear of my van) or run wire under the van! Now I've seen you do it clearly its not hard and I was going to be ripped off. Downunda - Melbourne Australia

Hi Rick. Found the video really watchable and informative - very neat and professional looking job. Smashing tip about the cable tie - can use this in jobs of all sorts. Thanks again for a. enjoyable vlog. George and Trish.

Excellent job Rick!

Just bought a second hand Fiat Ducato panel van and it has hook and pin setup only need to change this to ALKO type ball but enjoyed seeing how you fitted your towbar Thanks

Great video Rick, very informative and great little guide.

Job well done Rick, very neat. Plenty of access on a van. I have done drill & bolt tow bars on 2 cars & but the carina & a LR defender were pre drilled.

I would like to do something similar to our citroen jumpy (dispatch across the pond :D). Thanks for the video!

Very helpful video - interesting as I wouldn’t have ever thought to do this myself but looks like it’s fairly straightforward all be it likely take a bit of time - great job - all the best, David 👍

Well done mate. Great installation 😎👍

well done rick , nicely explained , good job 👍

Nice one Rick, those captive nuts looked a pain but great idea to use a tie to hold it in place enough to get the thread to catch. Not much of a break though more like a long weekend😂😂😂Cheers K.

Hi Rick, just waiting on delivery of my towbar for our 2013 Ducato X250 campervan. Excellent video. I bought similar electrics to you i.e. piggy backed off lights etc. I noticed that LeisureBit only had to basically connect a plug to canbus and an earth at the back. Assume the newer models are different even though my ECS kit says ‘2011 onwards’. As a retired mechanical engineer the electrics sometimes scare me !

Nice one Rick, well explained and captured. I had looked at PF Jones and had a quote but still not had it fitted yet 😆. Have fitted plenty over the years but as you say cars are more complicated now so was unsure about doing myself. Guess it doesn't affect the parking sensors either. Cheers

i have thule easyfold triple and found that the light socket was blocked by the carrier so had to move the light holder further out and only use 1 bolt to hold it on, still works ok and solid.

Really helpful thanks 👍

I towed my bothers Jag on the towing hook, but I'll need a tank assembly for a trailer. That's logical

Weldone good job done!

Hi. Fitted a tow bar yesterday after watching you vid. Thanks. Just got the wiring to do (connect into the van) just wondering if t you know of a piggy back cable available anywhere to save using the scotch locks which sometime sever the copper and well as the insulation!! Failing that I'm tempted to make a piggy back if I can find the correct plugs!! Cheers

As always, fab video. Rick, what was wrong with the bike rack on the door?

hi Rick i enjoyed your video, just in the process of doing the same as you so i picked up a few good tips , do you or poppy your supervisor know if its possible to brighten the dash board lights especially the speedo, i find when its sunny i can,t see my speed easily thanks for good video cheers

Hi Rick, Nice video. Have you got a link for the plug & play wiring loom you used ?

Good video. How much clearance do you have for reversing sensors once towbar is fitted as original bumper bar has holes cut in it?

Hi Rick after your parking sensors vlog thought I would have a crack at this could you tell me which wiring loom you purchased please.

Hi Rick how did your rear sensors disable when you had something on the tow bar

Is there any special precautions in disconnecting the reversing sensors

Which wiring kit did you use? Is it vehicle specific or universal one?

Did you have any issues with the fixed tow ball triggering the reversing sensors?

Rick. Thanks very much for this. We have a Witter towbar, factory fitted by Elddis. It was slightly off level and causing the plastic step to rub on the bottom of a barn door. Whilst sorting that, I noticed one of the three bolts from each side in the triangle configuration were missing. Do you know what the metric thread size is for them and if they are all the same thread/length?

Would it be possible and easier to just splice off the wires from the rear lights?

how much weight can you tow?
