So this has been in the wings for a number of years. I was very lucky to get a tow hitch carrier of Ray @ HellBM and installed it with him a few years a go with the intention of buying the tow ball attachment.
I searched in vein to find one second hand but after many failed attempts I forgot all about it.
Recently I have started cycling after running was doing me mild injury. The need srpung back up to get the tow situation sorted out.
I remembered that Jason ( Flow ) had completed a Westfalia install on his 540. Jason was very kind to lend me his tow hitch for me to check fitment.
After phoning the New Zealand Westfalia agents, it unforunately confirmed my suspicions, they want $900 for just the tow hitch
So off to Schmiedmann to try and order just the tow hitch which they didnt have on catalog, only the whole carrier kit.
I dealt with Andrew at Schmiedmann and after some back and forth we managed to find the right number and a much better 300 euro + shipping was quoted.
I also ordered the Mtech2 rear valance with tow flap for my motorsport bumper.
Below is some of the efforts.
