Looks like they're doing the tracking with the car set low in access mode. Richard

Alas no more pictures, as I felt slightly uncomfortable taking that one. As for the signage is was partial, and the rear door looks slightly different shade...Huggs.

Yes, thats a similar winch. The truck also has two tow bars out the front. which look like they are linked back to the chassis by 4" box section. Full set of flashing lights on the grill area and the rack on top...Huggs.

Saw a TV show where they used a disco to maneuver a static caravan into position with it connected to the front so maybe that?

Good call Mole734, but would't a single tow bar front and central to the vehicle be a better option? The debate goes on, until the owner sheds some light...Huggs.
