Thanks. Yep this one and the wiring was provided too. Really appreciate the help.

Would like to get a towbar installed on MY19 Tiguan Allspace and try out (by hiring) a caravan.

Thinking about the Hayman Reese option because it's a lot cheaper than Westfalia or VW OEM ($1,300 vs $2,200+). Don't think we'd do this more than once or twice a year so not looking to overinvest.

Does anyone have the Hayman Reese towbar on a Mk2 Tiguan?
Could you share your experiences?
Does it require bumper to be cut?
Any photos?
I know it's a simple eletrical connection with no coding on VCDS - what does this mean? Is it just rear parking sensors and camera that will go crazy (which I can turn off).

How heavy is the van and what is its towballweight.

Electrical connection is NOT simple and a proper VW tow module is over $600 HR bars look messy and will require bumper to be hacked at. A Westfalia one is the one to get

I would be looking to get a caravan within my car's limits <2500kg and <200kg towball.

What I meant was a simple "bypass" electrical rather than an electronic one to avoid the complications of coding, interfering with computer, etc.

I don't believe the bumper needs to be hacked although the square hitch would be visible but is hardly "ugly" (but each to his own): http://www.shop1auto.com.au/Images%2...0RW_800pix.jpg

There is a considerable price diff: $1,150 vs $2,000+ and if the only benefit is that it's 1. "invisible" when not in use and 2. the rear sensors don't beep on those once or twice a year trips, I'd be happy with that.

Just check your towball limits in your manual as they dont stay at a constant 200kg on all models and all loadings

Hey all, I've tried scouring the search but couldn't find the answer, but can someone confirm that the dealer fitted VW towbar hitch is 50mm and not the smaller 40mm size fitted to some other cars?

Looking to get one and wanted to make sure I'll fit our bike carrier.
