Anyone here have a VW Crafter Motorhome?


We have just bought a VW Crafter MH and have noted it is so low to the ground someone else has bent the trailor connection.

 

Is this normal for these vehicles?

Hiya Maids, NO!, Trailer connections should not be bent or twisted - You will most probably get a towbar connection at correct height at any trailer/caravan shop.

Hi maids smile

I have a Sprinter MH which is the same body as a Crafter. If you have the long wheelbase model then they are a long vehicle and have a long overhang behind the rear wheels. This will always cause problems and need careful driving to avoid problems in some situations. A low towbar fitting is just another mistake people put there. Have it removed if you are not using it or get a higher one. The local towbars supplied for these vehicles are often unsuitable for normal use on our roads and drag a lot.

one other thing.

I am confused with the weights on this MH, the vin says this vehicle was manufactured by tourism holdings Australia (looks like a Jayco MH) and has a 3550GVm

On the Rego papers it has the tare at 3320

would this have been weighed after fittings and what would it include?

The weights just dont add up to me or we can only add 230kg
