The car is equipped with the Towmaster 2 Tow-a-Car towing system to enable it to be towed behind a campervan/motorhome. Its features are:
The Towmaster 2 is a type of A-frame towbar system, manufactured by Roadmaster, used to tow a car behind a motorhome. It features telescopic arms for easy attachment, an automatic locking and centring mechanism, and an electronic brake system. The system is designed to be lightweight, fold away for storage, and maintain the towed car's original safety features and discreet appearance when not in use.
Key Features and Benefits: Autolok System allows for quick, single-person connection and automatic centring and locking as you drive.
- Telescopic Arms: Enable the car to be parked very close to the motorhome for easy hook-up and release.
- Safety Testing: Computer-designed and destruction-tested (FEA and fatigue testing) for structural integrity and safety.
- Maintains Vehicle Safety: Uses the vehicle's designated manufacturer towing points, preserving its original accident safety features.
- Discreet Design: Folds for compact storage and is designed to maintain the towed car's appearance when removed.
- Electronic Braking: Provides proportional braking control for the towed car.
- Lightweight: The system itself is lightweight, adding minimal drag to the motorhome.
- Certifications: Supplied with certificates and documentation to confirm legal compliance in different countries.
How it Works:
- Hitching: The telescopic arms extend to meet the towed vehicle's towing brackets, which are permanently installed on the car's bumper beam.
- Connecting: Once connected, the arms retract and automatically lock in place.
- Driving: The system remains locked and centered while driving.
- Braking: The electronic brake system activates proportionally to the motorhome's braking, ensuring controlled deceleration of the towed car.
- Storage: When not in use, the A-frame folds away neatly into a storage bag.
Considerations
- Performance: The 1.0-litre engine is sufficient for city driving but may feel underpowered on motorways, having said that, it is a very nippy small car.
- Ride: The suspension is set up for urban roads and can feel firm on bumpier surfaces but remains comfortable.
- Interior: While it has a solid and youthful feel, the cabin can feel small, with some exposed metal and hard plastics.
- Boot Space: The boot is small but larger items can be accommodated with the folding the rear seats.
