The easiest way to find out the costings of a fitting is to use our online towbar quote builder linked below, which takes as little as 60 seconds to complete! Simply enter your vehicle registration or manually select your vehicle to generate a quote.
Should I choose 7 or 13 pin electrics?
When you are towing a standard trailer or have a lighting board attached and even a bike carrier a 7-pin vehicle specific kit will enable all of your light functions for this job. A 7-pin Vehicle Specific Single Electrics kit provides all of the basic legal lighting requirements for towing and harnesses perfectly with your car. We never fit by-pass or universal electrics to your vehicle!
You will need a 13-pin Vehicle Specific Electrics kit for towing a caravan because it provides all of the legal lighting requirements for towing, as well as powering the electrics inside your caravan. Most caravans, manufactured after January 2009, will have 13-pin electrics and will also connect to your reverse lights whilst providing a full power supply inside your caravan. Please note if you have the older 12n 12s style electrics we will still fit the latest electrics to your vehicle and then simply provide a 12n 12s to 13 pin adapter.

There are many car-bike racks on the market, so finding the right one can be tricky. However, here at Telford Towbars  we’ve done the research for you and compiled a list of the top four car bike racks in that we recommend. So, without further ado, here are the best car bike racks on the market! Whether you’re looking for something simple and easy to use or something more robust, we’ve got you covered.
A question to ask yourself is how frequently do you need to carry bikes?
How many bikes?
And…
Which vehicle or vehicles will you be using?
You may require a bike rack for your motorhome?
We are happy to advise you on any of the above here at Telford Towbars.
Call us now on: +44 (0)1952 608750
Another question before you start looking is how are you planning to carry the bikes?
There are many factors to consider, and one of the most important things is the value of your bike. There is no point in risking a cheap bike car rack if your bike is worth a few thousand pounds!
Bikes vary so much in cost, style, size and weight all these need to be considered.
The main types of bike rack are roof-mounted, boot or trunk-mounted and towbar or hitch-mounted.
This is one of the best bike racks for cars currently in the UK.
The Thule ProrRide is a great choice and is ideal if your bike has mudguards, because rack wont interfere with them which is different to those bike racks that hold the bike by the wheels.
You do have to clamp directly onto the down tube bike, however the jaws have been designed to minimize the risk of damage.
This hauls one bike and requires a base bar system.
If you have a Thule or other base bar system or you have a vehicle that already has factory cross bars. The RockyMounts versatile TomaHawk upright bike rack is really ideal.
This bike rack is very versatile and it can haul all sort of bikes including kids bikes.
Loading a bike onto the rack is quite easy because RockyMounts roof racks include tabs so the wheel straps are kept out of the way.
Loading a bike is relatively easy since RockyMounts includes tabs to keep the rack’s wheel straps out of the way.
A disadvantage maybe that the lock on the base rack doesn’t rate as a top scorer.
Storage wise it folds down well.
Many e-bikes are just too heavy to lift onto a car roof or load into a hatchback. This clever – but very expensive – rack might be the answer to your problems if your car has a tow ball. Being low to the ground it’s a lot easier to lift e-bikes or heavy mountain bikes into place. They are held in position using adjustable and removable arms with clamps which click loudly when at the correct tension, so you won’t damage expensive frames. The whole assembly can be tilted out of the way of your rear tailgate at the press of a foot pedal, so you can still access the boot.
The cleverest feature of the XT 2 is its ability to fold up for easy storage in a garage or shed – there’s even a built-in carrying handle to make it easier to move around. Its big brother, the XT 3, even has a wheel so you don’t even need to lift it. The design includes built-in rear lights and a number plate holder.
Finally, we recommend the Menabo Carriers these are available in various sizes for carrying up to four bikes;
Have a look to see if we have the right one for you?
 That’s it for our list of the best car bike racks in UK. We hope you found this post helpful and that it has given you a good idea of what to look for when purchasing your own bike rack. If you have any questions or would like some help finding the perfect product for your needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here at Telford Towbars. We offer a wide range of car bike carriers and accessories, all of which are available for purchase on our website.

Caravanning is a hugely popular pastime, with more and more people hitting the open road in their caravans every year. But while caravanning can be great fun, it’s also important to remember that they require a bit of care and attention – especially in colder weather.
That is a lot more to looking after your caravan in the winter than protecting the towbar!
Here at Telford Towbars, we have given you some simple tips so you can be rest assured that your caravan will stay in good condition all winter long. Plus, you’ll avoid any nasty surprises when it comes time to hit the road again in the spring.
You can keep your caravan safe with specialist caravan insurance.
Although not a legal requirement, caravans cost a lot of money to replace, and insurance can be surprisingly inexpensive. So our advice at Telford Towbars services is don’t skimp here; it may end up in tears!
You may find that there are discounts available for members of touring, camping and caravan clubs and sometimes companies offer deals if you insure both your caravan and car!
First and foremost, and this may be so obvious, make sure you remove anything valuable from your caravans such as TVs, radios and anything else of value.
Telford Towbars’ advice is always to check with your insurance company or read the policy before you think of storing your caravan with a third party!
If you consider a caravan storage area make sure the caravans are not parked too tightly because we have seen a few caravans damaged when other caravans have been moved.

To keep the kitchen clean and free from mould, make sure that you
scrub every part of your fridge. Leave the door ajar; there may be a catch on it for you to use, to prevent any attraction for pests such as vermin. Use products designed specifically for caravans instead of normal domestic cleaners because they may damage surfaces or seals in a caravan.
Keeping your caravan dry and clean is one of the most important things you can do to protect it from moisture. Vacuum cleaning carpets helps eliminate any dirt that might have settled there while also checking for anything left behind in cupboards or seat bases; this way, we know all areas are as clean as possible.
Vacuum cushions regularly to prevent mildew. Store them standing upright away from the caravan walls and cover them with breathable material for protection against dust. Ideally, if you have room at home, keep them there.
Bedding and pillows should be removed for the winter.
Springtime is just around the corner, and with it comes an opportunity to give your caravan exterior a much-needed maintenance clean. Whether you plan on using wax or cover preparation, make sure that any dirt from last season has been removed before storing away for winter!
Thorough cleaning of the body also allows you to inspect the bodywork for any damage. The winter season is an excellent time to fix it when workshops are less busy.
The chemicals used to clean your caravans can significantly impact their longevity. Proprietary agents designed for this purpose will be kinder towards the surfaces while also safer than traditional cleaners, so they’re worth considering!
Use caution when using pressure washers. They often have a powerful spray that can damage trim and seals.
Remove any green or black mould from the surface of your caravan. This will help prevent it from growing over winter, which can mark plastic and aluminium permanently with an unwanted colour!
Tyres don’t like standing around for long periods, it may be worth increasing the tyre pressure while stationary, but forget to decrease when back on the road.
If your caravan is not too far away, it may be worth turning the wheels every six to eight weeks.
When you’re not using your caravans for travel, it’s important to lock them up. A hitch-lock will keep anyone from lifting or unhitching the caravan.
Remember! have you changed your car in the last six months you will need a new Towbar for your car.
Here our towbar installation specialists will give you the correct towbar for your vehicle, and it will be fitted by one of our experts.
If you have already got a towbar, please don’t hesitate to ask us for advice if you have any concerns.
You may need a refresh on towing, please take a look at our safe and legal towing services.
Once you have your towbar fitted it’s vital you look at the weight.
Details of the towing capacity for your vehicle found in the owner’s handbook, the manufacturer’s website, and other websites should only be taken as a guide.
The actual, exact, and only towing capacity figure that should be used for your vehicle is the one that is stamped on the Vehicle Identification Number Plate, VIN Plate.
