So many talented people are on here and we should have a separate section for the ingenuity some members have come up with.

We could nearly have a dedicated area for this. Mods let me know what you think.

Doesn't say much for those others who've posted now, does it.

My plan is to live forever......so far, so good!

Patr80l

The Touareg's well for the spare will only hold a deflated space saver so if you want to carry a full time spare you need another way.   This uses an old 50mm square hitch welded to a bit of square tube & plate.   It needs to drop (via a 2 pin connection) to allow the rear hatch to open.
Inventions don't need to be complicated.
And I could still tow the Jayco with it.
If anybody is interested, PM me for more photos/details.

Let's get this started.



Great idea , but is it legal welding onto a tow hitch like that? How much does it move around while your driving? I don't know about wall thickness , but it looks like 50x50 RHS. If it was me I would have some gussets and something under the wheel to take the weight instead of just the studs/bolts or whatever is holding it now. Insurance might be another problem if it decided to part company with your tug. I hope I'm wrong because I do like the idea for the camper.  ???

Not my invention, but I do think the MYSWAG forum is a good invention.
How else would we share and pinch each others ideas.
