Hi
Does anyone know what the clearance is on a factory fitted folding tow bar on a E class estate. I have been asked if its 70mm as the caravan I am thinking of renting has a stabiliser. Its a bit hard to measure. I would appreciate any advice?
Thanks Ian
 
Do you mean how far does it stick out beyond the bumper? If yes, why is it difficult to measure...do you not have a tape measure?
 
I have the same towbar factory fitted to my 2004 S211 and what a great bit of kit it is. I have the standard ALKO hitchlock as is normal on most caravans post 2000. You will have no issue hitching up etc. The rear air suspension keeps everything nice and even.
A great tow car thats why i bought it....still returns 28mpg towing my 7.2 metre outfit.
Mark.
 
^ wot he said. My Alko stab clears the bumper by plenty with the factory folding ball.
