Hi Steve,
just had my A-frame fitted (Mon 18th ) at Towtal, nice job well pleased but was suprised that the fog lights went out on the motorhome when car plugged in and the fog lights didnt work on the car, Towtal said this was normal and legal, I just wondered if yours was same and if you were happy with that if they are.

Hi Ken,

Just about sorted now with the number plate and reflective triangles.

The existing rear plate on the colt has been fitted very well with some sort of adhesive.I didn't want to disturb this so have drilled 2 holes through the existing number plate and fitted some plastic protective collars on the fixing screws,with 2 corresponding holes in the new number plate,it is a 2 minute job to fit it over the existing one.

Re the triangles,after some searching on e-bay I found a seller who deals in all types of magnetic signs and can make them to order.A quick e -mail to him with my requirements of 2 reflective,magnetic triangles and he came up with

He put the auction on specially for me with a''buy it now''

They arrived this morning and are just the job, a few seconds to stick on the back of the car and seem strong magnetically,I don't think they will fall off with vibration,they seem about the same strength as the ''ON TOW'' magnetic sign which stays in place ok.
