    Need help re tow assist

    Hi need help re tow assist.
    I have a Disco 4 MY 13 HSE want to hook up my tandem caravan using
    the tow assist.
    I have the triangle sticker LR part No. LR 021589. Have watched the procedure to be taken on You tube but I have a question.
    Is the sticker to be put on the front of the caravan and left there whilst towing.
    OR
    Could I use some magnetic type sheeting, attach the sticker and then
    I would be able to put the sticker of and on the caravan when I need to.


    Thankyou in advance
    Regards Kev

    It assists you when connecting up to the tow ball when you have the surround camera package i believe.

    Kev, I don't think it matters as long as:
    • if stays on the van, it does not get damaged(stones weathering etc)
    • if it is removable, that it always goes back on the yellow zone and is not going to fall off


    here's the vid for the curious:

    Hi Guys
    Thanks for the replies
    Sean very kind of you to put up video for anyone to look at.
    It is used with the surround camera system.
    I was going to try to use it but I did not want to put the sticker
    on and have to rip it off and have to go always back to southport
    and pay another $12 for another sticker.
    Anyway thanks again for the info.
    Kev

    Put sticker on van...

    Buy (or use one off the fridge) a magnet and stick over it to protect from stones when travelling

    Hi Landy Andy As I have the MY 13 SDV6 HSE which come with the cameras
    and the better sound system. I was reading the manual and found
    the two assist option and decided after having a look at the you tube Instructional video on the tow assist to go and get the sticker (apparently the cheapest spare part LR have) and give it a go. Anyway the short story The way I wanted to do it was the stick the sticker which is 18cm x 18cm onto a piece of Magnetic sheeting. Found this afternoon this will not work.
    So we will be trying it by placing the sticker directly onto the front of the caravan which I did not want to do
    Regards Kev
