2012 Peugeot 107 Allure 3 door hatchback finished in black. Professionally converted into a A-Frame tow car for motorhomes. MOT 11/03/2025 last service 11/03/24 at 34565 miles.

Motorhome or car A-frames are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. As motorhome owners realise the benefits of taking a nippy little car with them when touring, the A frame becomes an absolute must.

Originally developed for military use the A Frame would allow towing secondary lighter vehicles behind larger more immobile equipment. Then as the system became more widely available, Land Rovers were towed behind Steam Engines & Tanks and now many different cars are towed behind many different Motor Homes and RV’s all over the world.

They are designed and fitted to various model cars and vehicles with very few exceptions. You’ll find it much easier to get around those tight Italian town centres in a Mini than in your motorhome! Yet while you’re on the motorways getting there, you’ll hardly notice you’re towing a car behind you.

An A-Frame will widen your options.

A question we often hear is:

If I’m having a tow car, why not just have a caravan or trailer. It is not a difficult one to answer.

1: When we convert your car into an A Frame, basically it becomes a trailer with separated axles. Its got a low centre of gravity which means it corners safely and comfortably and is never prone to snaking.

2: In an age old saying, there’s no “tail wagging the dog” with an A frame. The larger vehicle (your Motor Home) is pulling the smaller (a tow car). Unlike the Caravan situation where your golf is trying to drag the 7.5m box.

3: Rain? it’s still quick an easy. No messing about with the wet straps, no slipping on a trailer and no trying to drive a car onto a set of ramps. Of course, when you are loaded, then there’s the extra weight (around 800Kg average) which will take its toll on the fuel consumption.

4: Safely storing your trailer on a campsite is a continuing issue, along with the fact that you’ll need to pay extra to park it – if they allow it.
