Hi all, I have a query regarding my towbar. I currently tow a Bailey pageant moselle (max gross weight 1285kgs) with my crv 2.0 se sport. All my weights seem fine and it's a really good tow, however, my towbar seems pretty low to the ground in comparison with my alko hitch and regardless of how I load the caravan there is always a slight nose dive on the van? Would a long neck towball make any difference?? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

The towball on my 55 plate Crv is also low, but I have visited 3 tow bar places and all 3 have measured my towball and it is at the correct height
.
I have been advised of what I could do but it would raise the height and also make it illegal aswell.
Another option given to me was to remove the jockey wheel when towing as its this what is most likely to scrape on any speed humps but refit it before unhitching it from the car!
