Question:
Hello, I currently have a 2003 VW Golf TDI 1.9, and I want to tow a 13ft scamp camper. What do I need to tow safely? I’m assuming I need to upgrade my hitch?

Expert Reply:
Since you have a factory hitch on your 2003 VW Golf TDI it wouldn't be worth upgrading to a new hitch like the Curt # C11066 as it wouldn't gain you any additional capacity.
You would need trailer wiring too if you didn't have that already like with the part # HM48925. For a ball mount you would then want the part # C45016 with the hitch ball # 19258.
