Was quoted £1248 for a detachable towbar fitted by dealer today !
Apparently do I need an armature, the actual towbar, the wiring kit and finally an electric module.
Does this sound right to the experts out there ?
Thanks.

Sounds a lot of money. You will need the tow bar obviously and the wiring kit. What they mean by an armature defeats me. You may need an electrical module, if you want a plug for feeding a caravan internal lights from the vehicles supply, or charging the van battery from the vehicle in motion.

I spent about £350ish on a detachable and that was only cause they ordered the caravan electric instead of trailer electric!
I'm glad other people find it somewhat expensive as well; the armature is the crossbar into the centre of which you fit the swan neck.
My main concerns from other companies such as Towbar Express are warranty issues and lack of proper integration with the electrics (parking sensors etc).
Thanks.
