TDI with Westfalia Fixed

Set up looks good o far! 2012 Golf MK6, 2006 T@B, Westfalia hitch

Have you seen this install video? Pretty clear about the bumper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIw1a4K0sgQ

Since it's a CPO car, I take it to the dealer and a technician ride with you while you demonstrate the problem. I just bought a '12 Golf TDI and just got back from having some minor issues taken care of too.

Thanks sandmansans. I'll start calling around.

Safety Chains Westfalia Tow Bar Golf VI Sooooo....ordered the Wesfalia hitch from PF Jones. Yes, it was expensive. Just now realized no attachments for safety chains!!! Arrrgghhh! What did others do to accommodate safety chains? I supposed I'll have to have something welded on.

Yeah, I really wanted an eco hitch first. Torklift doesn't make a hitch for a '12 Golf TDI but, if I want to drive to NW Washington, they'll make a custom one for me! The Bosal hitch comes with a 2" ball? Can't seem to find where to order a Bosal either. ID Parts doesn't have one for the Golf VI

Nice setup! I'm towing an '06 T@B. Tongue weight is about 150-180lbs so it can be a little heavy on the front. Battery/propane and front galley all forward of the axel. I wish a place like CanAm were closer to they could customize the set up for my car. I'm trying to put all the components...
