I have been given a 4 berth caravan. Any information on Shadows and tow bars? Is the Shadow any good as a tow car? (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Bob, Could you please contact me direct and I will give you the contact details for a Club member who is a towbar specialist. My email address is the same one that you have used in the past. My understanding is that it can be done but substantial under-body modifications are required for proper load transfer from the hitch. Kind regards David | ||

Bob, David it is my opinon that the Shadow in good condition ie no rust is more than structurally adequate for the most heavy loads under tow. I made my hitch with the simple fixings and has towed many a load. Four wheel trailer and tractor no prob, GTW now thats interesting on limits any one know. Wheel studs nuts,and the tyres etc. DGW. | ||

I have a 76 shadow that took 4 years to find a suitable tow bar for. In that time spent looking I was shown a car that had towed a large boat, and was shocked to see an inch gap in the rear of the rear door around the dogleg. My advice to antone thinking of towing via a shadow should keep the loads light. I did eventually fit the bar, but my loads are light. Regards to all. (Message approved by david_gore) |
