Westfalia Towbar Fitting Issue


Recommended Posts

Hi I've had my RX400 over a week now and love it.

However, the westfalia detachable tow bar it came with just doesn't seem to fit. You push it vertically up and its supposed to use ball bearings to fix itself and then you lock it with a key. However, it just doesn't fit when you push it up, its a good 1" or so from and sits proud.

I've taken photos to show the towbar - any of your thoughts/suggestions would be most welcome, I was planning on fitting my bike carrier but I'm scuppered until I resolve this issue.

Thanks for looking.post-49667-0-71901200-1396086778_thumb.j

Well I finally managed to sort it (well a friend did!) - you have to pull the handle outwards and that releases the ball bearings, which let it snap into place.

Also managed to get the cycle rack fitted :)

Hi Dewey,

I have the same fitting on my 400h ........... If you wish, I can scan the user manual and send it on to you ........ Would be later in the week, but let me know and I'll happily do it.

Cheers ........... Pete :)
