Dixon-Bate LogoDixon-Bate has over 70 years experience of supplying the caravan market with products designed to make caravanning such an enjoyable pastime. The current range of products reflects a continuing belief in supplying products which are both easy to use and economically priced.

Adjustable Height Towing Brackets

Towing with a 4x4 vehicle is becoming increasingly popular with caravanners who appreciate the extra towing power and carrying capacity such vehicles provide. Because of the high ground clearance required by 4x4 vehicles for off-road use the standard towing bracket fitted to the vehicle is often too high for the average caravan resulting in a "nose-up" attitude. The Dixon-Bate range of Adjustable Height towing brackets enables the towing coupling to be easily and quickly adjusted without tools to the right height to suit the hitch height of the caravan.
