tow receiver
In Australia the tow bar is a box section, will it fit the UK model, and has anybody got one here?

I was wondering a similar thing - the standard UK EU type approved tow hitches restrict ground clearance so I was wondering what forum members use to tow their off-road camping trailers on the road in the UK and Europe? I know that South Africans and Australians have a number of 'legal' options they can use, but what have we got over here? any advice anyone....Prince Harry's D3: G4 factory equipped D3 - expo rack, winch, roof lights, ladder, active locking rear diff, RAI, Melville & Moon seat covers, General Grabber ATs/ Goodyear Duratrac
