Turn Your Car into a Towable Motorhome Companion
Are you looking for a simple and lightweight way to tow your car behind your motorhome? At Fit A Frame, we specialise in modifying small cars from all over the UK to be safely towed with an A-frame. Whether you’re heading on holiday or exploring the countryside, our solution allows you to take your car with you—without the hassle of trailers or additional storage issues.
Our A-frames are designed and made by us in the UK, with absolute safety and ease of use at the forefront of the design. Unlike many heavier alternatives on the market, our A-frame is ultra-lightweight and simple to fit, making it the ideal choice for motorhome enthusiasts.

How Our Tow Car Modifications Stand Out
Unlike some competitors who modify caravan components, our system is purpose-built for safe and efficient flat towing. Here’s what makes our setup unique:
- We do NOT use the original crash beam, as we believe it is insufficient for safe flat towing.
- Made from premium stainless steel for durability and rust resistance.
- Specifically engineered for towing, ensuring strength, stability, and longevity.
- Highly affordable: Our standard fitment is just £1999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our A-frames comply with UK road regulations. You must ensure your vehicle meets braking and lighting requirements when being towed.
Most motorhomes have a standard towing capacity between 1,500 kg and 2,000 kg. Since the majority of our vehicles weigh less than 1,000 kg, towing should generally not be an issue. However, it's essential to verify your motorhome's specific towing capacity.
No, our vehicles come with integrated electrics, eliminating the need for a trailer board. The motorhome supplies power to the tow car's lights, preventing battery drain during extended journeys
Yes! Our A-frame system allows controlled reversing while the tow car is connected.
Most small/city cars are suitable. Contact us to check compatibility.
The tow frame is designed to fit neatly into the boot of your car, leaving ample space for other items.
Yes, collection and delivery are available at an additional charge.
If your motorhome is rated at 3500kg (standard car licence limit), you may have a limited payload. Using our system, you can shift 200kg of weight into the tow car to stay legally compliant.
Our vehicles primarily use an overrun braking system, similar to that of trailers or caravans. This system employs a damped, sliding shaft within the 'A' frame, which pulls a rod connected via a Bowden cable to the brake pedal or linkage, providing balanced four-wheel braking. There is also an option to upgrade to an electronic braking system that automatically detects when you're towing.
We fit a 13-pin plug to our tow frames as standard but can supply a 7-pin plug if required, applicable to mechanical braking systems only.
No, our system is fully reversible. The car can be returned to its original state if needed.
The standard modificatio n costs £1,999. Bespoke fittings may be available at an extra cost.
Our lightweight "Integral" frame weighs just 12-14 kg—about half the weight of many competitors A-frames, which may be cheaper but are significantly heavier.
