Can anyone please tell me the height of the towball to suit a sterling eccles 2003 model at present it is set at 420mm(16.5'') but I have a feeling it should be 470mm (18.5''), my caravan is in storage and yes you have guessed my owners maual is in the van so I cant even refer to that
Thanks, Stew

Hi
I seem to remember that towball height has to be between 350 - 420mm, unladen, regardless of what is being towed.

Littlejack40 is correct, the measurement is taken from ground to the centre of the towball.
Possible useful link to a pdf on the subject------------- Paul
