Confirmed this morning with INEOS that IG CANNOT be flat towed for anything other than very short distances. That one small factor is me out. We have to have something that can be towed four down behind our motorcoach.
Just buy a car trailer instead.
It most certainly can, it looks like the service manual is not “recommending” flat towing except for recovery purposes so I guess it is possible but not warrantied
Problem is finding a car trailer than can take a 2700kg load and remain under 3500 gross trailer mass. Most trailers that can take that much weight are fairly heavy duty so the ineos+trailer will be above 3500 which means your RV has to be capable of towing around 4000kg which rules out a fair chunk of them.
aluminum trailers - not cheap, but plenty of excavators use them.
A 25 Ton Prevost Bus or any of the other large motorhomes here in North America has no issue towing that.
Yes, they may have been using/testing the optional extra skid plate that is due out in August. It's just not fitted as standard at present.
I thought these were originally spoken of as standard equipment, I wonder if these would be retrofitted to customers cars that don't have them.... One can hope....
No, I'm not aware they were ever spoken about as standard equipment. What was always standard was the front & rear skid plates and the fuel tank guard.
That has been my understanding also... additional underbody protection was mentioned by Ineos as an option but I cannot find reference to it in either the early Australian nor UK price lists.
The Fitzel Trailer has from 600kg to 630kg with a max. weight of 3.500kg
