'A Frame towing is becoming more popular in Australia with motorhome owners.'

• Weights
  A Frame Towing laws require that the towed vehicle be rated by its GVM (gross vehicle mass). People get confused when Tare Weight or Kerb Weight is often quoted. The GVM is the weight of the vehicle fully laden. Tare Weight is the unloaded weight.
   
• What is your Towbar rating?
  When the towing vehicle has a GVM under 4.5 tonnes the loaded mass of the towed vehicle must not exceed the lesser of:

• The maximum capacity of any towing attachment fitted to the towed or towing vehicle.

• The maximum towing mass specified for the towing vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer.

• Is your Motorhome 12v?
  Some motorhomes are 24v. If your motorhome is 24v then you will need a reducer – this is an additional cost.
   
• Where are your Motorhome and car registered?
  Different States have different laws. You must comply with the State laws of where you are registered.
   
• What do I do if my Motorhome and car are registered in different States?
  The stricter rules apply to you. I.E. if your Motorhome is registered in Queensland and your car in NSW the NSW laws would apply.

• My car has a nudge bar
  In most instances if your car has a nudge bar it must be removed before your installation.
   
• My car has a bullbar
  All bullbars must be removed before the installation.
   
• What do I need to purchase for an A Frame installation?
  This varies depending on where you are registered and what you want to tow. RVGO can advise you on your specific requirements.
   
• What can I tow?
  This is the most commonly asked question. A selection of manual vehicles can be towed, however base plates (refer below for definition) are not produced for all vehicles. Very few automatics can be towed. The most commonly towed vehicle in Australia is the Suzuki Grand Vitara which can be towed in manual or automatic.
