Retirees and holidaymakers in George and Wilderness fit tow bars to SUVs and bakkies for caravans and boats, so check the braked towing capacity and your licence code for a heavy caravan.

Forestry and farm users in Thembalethu and Blanco buy winches, recovery straps and heavy couplings for wet, steep tracks.
Towing in George
George is the main service town of the Garden Route, and much of its towing work follows the N2 and the passes inland. The N2 carries holiday traffic, caravans, boats and trucks between Mossel Bay and Knysna, and the Kaaimans River stretch near Wilderness is narrow and winding. The N9 and N12 climb the Outeniqua Pass to Oudtshoorn, where trucks and caravans often struggle with brakes and heat. Coastal rain, mist and fog in the hills and occasional rockfalls on the passes make careful driving essential. Holidaymakers, timber and farm transporters, dealers and the many retirees with caravans ask for tows, car transport and tow bars here, with a big peak in December.
The requests we see from George usually come from:

- Motorists and families: a first used rollback for an owner-driver starting a towing business
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a heavy wrecker to recover the company's own trucks and trailers
