Towing with a Bedford

[Bedfordcrazy]

Worse case busy you may have to send it down on a tow truck, depends on how far you are going.

great minds think alike george         was why i asked the klikage, was gonna be next suggest... but then the dollar count starts climbin, less you can self hire... ,can one tow vehicle to vehicle in kiwi??

[Bedfordcrazy]

Thats another good idea skip, hire a trayback truck for 1 van and tow the second on the trailer behind the trayback, depends on how much you really want both vans there. Or another solution, thats way out there  you could beef up the tow van to what it needs to tow the custom. Like i said out there, time and cash wise.    hhhhmmmm thinking thinking, or hows this busy, you could see if they would move the show to your place, then you can just park in the drive.    Good luck with that mate..

Maybe just finish the custom and drive it there under its own steam?

the van is 2010mm between rear flares, bottom of flares is flush with side skirts ... can only go on forward

Is a 2 hour trip, so 160k's ?

vehicle to vehicle ? line towing, like with a tow rope? the missus wont even drive my standard van (is to big)

would cost an arm and a leg to get it towed down there, trailer is going to cost me $80 a day (5 days = $400)

I did think about just driving the custom one down but if I got pulled over the fines would be worse than getting it towed down

At this point I think I'll beef up the tow bar, replace the bolts with new high tensile bolts and maybe add a couple of safety chains from chassis frame to tow bar for piece of mind

our driving unreg vehcile is $580 and you can still drive it home but if you got caught on the way down that would really suck! not worth the chance.

dont you have a mate with a car trailer?

I just ring up and get a permit $20 each way or 48hr

Talked to my uncle David, only got flat bed trucks these days, no trailers as they don't use them any more, sorry

[BusyKiwi]

Well the trailer idea might be a no go anyways. Went and measured it up, the van will fit - just (10mm spare each side) but can't get the van on the trailer far enough to get the weight in front of the front wheels, the engine is on the front axle which means to much weight at the rear. stupid mid mount #@*$@#

Thanks for asking Bas
