Why A-Frame Towing Gives Travellers the Best of Both Worlds

A-frame towing offers travellers the best of both worlds, combining the comfort of a motorhome with the convenience of a separate runabout.


Enjoy the freedom of a motorhome with the everyday convenience of a second vehicle

For many Australian motorhomers, the freedom of the open road comes with one issue: once you’ve set up camp, how do you get around easily without packing everything up? That’s where the Hitch’n’Go new Walkabout A-frame comes in. This vehicle-towing device gives you the flexibility of bringing a small car along for the journey, without sacrificing the convenience of travelling in a motorhome. 

Whether you’re running errands in town from your base at a caravan park, or getting down to that secret fishing spot, flat-towing is a simple solution for bringing a second vehicle on your travels. ‘Flat towing’ is when the vehicle is towed behind a motorhome on all four wheels – saving the expense, weight and effort of towing a car trailer. With the Hitch’n’Go Walkabout, the wheels are on the ground when and where you want them. 

The Walkabout’s telescopic arms make hitching to the towed car a breeze. The sliding arms allow a full range of movement before locking into place, so there’s no need to mess around with getting the motorhome and car perfectly aligned, while the A-frame is supported by the motorhome’s towbar. The Walkabout is especially liberating for solo travellers, who can enjoy the independence of having a second-vehicle solution wherever their wheels take them – without the physical strain of a complicated towing system.

MADE FOR AUSTRALIANS, BY AUSTRALIANS

In a market filled with imported products, Hitch’n’Go stands out as the only A-frame manufactured and engineered in Australia from the ground up, to not only meet Australia’s demanding conditions and exacting safety standards - but conquer them! 

Fully certified and compliant with all relevant safety standards, including ADR62, the Walkabout is the only flat-towing system in Australia with airbag compliance fully conforming to ADR69 and ADR73. 

The Walkabout isn’t just an A-frame, it’s an engineered towing solution that takes safety and integrity seriously. Using vehicle-specific mounting brackets, each kit is tailored to the exact chassis of the towed car, ensuring safety features like crumple zones and airbag sensors remain undisturbed. We ensure our safety cables are fabricated to the highest strength and are rated to well over the required minimum standards. 

For families touring with their daily-drive car behind their motorhome, the Walkabout delivers peace of mind. For insurers, it could be the difference between honouring a claim or investigating further. 

We know your rig is more than just your vehicle: it’s family, lifestyle, the freedom of travel, and lasting memories made on the open road.

DESIGNED FOR REAL TOURING LIFE

Beyond safety and compliance, the Walkabout is built with long-range Australian travel in mind. It’s made with materials chosen for reliability in the harshest conditions, with minimal required maintenance and upkeep. The A-frame itself can remain securely bolted to the rear of the motorhome when not in use, or compactly folded and stored in the boot or storage bin. Above all, Hitch’n’Go prioritises simplicity. Once the mount kit is installed by one of our qualified distributors, hitching up the car becomes routine: quick, easy and almost effortless.

THE BOTTOM LINE

When you choose the Walkabout, you are choosing an A-frame with an extensive Australian network of over 30 distributors, allowing unmatched support nationwide, with all parts and fittings available in Australia, and advice and know-how at your fingertips. The Walkabout is a complete, compliant, practical solution for your flat-towing needs. Specifically designed for the Australian traveller on Australian roads, the Walkabout is proudly manufactured in Yeppoon, Queensland. 

Whether you’re travelling around the country full time, taking seasonal trips with the kids, or simply wanting the flexibility of a smaller car while touring, Hitch’n’Go offers a level of engineering integrity and everyday ease of use that’s hard to match. 

The Walkabout doesn’t just tow a car: it enhances your touring lifestyle with confidence, convenience and true Australian-made reliability. hitchngo.com.au
