Caravan and boat owners on the Garden Route and the West Coast want tow bars and couplings rated for their loads. Fitment centres and trailer dealers work in Bellville, Montague Gardens and George. Wine and fruit farmers near Stellenbosch and Ceres need heavy-duty hitches. Coastal rust is a problem, so ask for galvanised parts. Winches and straps sell well for Cederberg and Swartberg 4x4 routes.
Towing in Western Cape
The Western Cape combines a busy metro with some of the country's most famous holiday routes. In Cape Town, the N1, N2 and N7 carry commuter traffic past the airport, Bellville and Montague Gardens, and breakdowns in rush hour are common. Sir Lowry's Pass on the N2 and the Huguenot Tunnel on the N1 near Paarl are well-known trouble spots. The Garden Route along the N2 through George, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, and the R62 through the Klein Karoo, draw caravans, boats and motorbikes. Winter rain, strong summer wind, mist on the passes and Karoo heat all affect drivers. Wine farms, fruit growers and the fishing industry need trucks and trailers.
Typical tow bar installation requests in the area come from:
- Motorists and families: a tow bar fitted before the holidays for a trailer, caravan or bike rack
- Caravan, boat and bike owners: 13 pin installation for a caravan, boat trailer or off-road camper
- Company fleets and rental firms: booked fitments for a batch of new vans or bakkies with matching wiring
