Tow Bar Hammock
Found these while looking for random car stuff and so tempted to get one.
https://www.amazon.com/Hammaka-Trail...ct_top?ie=UTF8 I wonder if the A8 swan neck can handle that downward force?

 WTF!!! I thought it was fat person recovery vehicle. So, if you belong to an appropriate organisation you can ring them up, say, after overeating at a McDs (other fast food outlets are ...etc) and you can just tell them "I'm so stuffed I cant get home" and they roll up and haul you home.

Perfect for noisy kids!
 Could get a bit breezy for them on the motorway though. Quote:

Did you read some of the reviews? need to confirm that the swan neck can support the weight and I'll get one.

I hate to rain on the party, but that thing looks like it's designed for the American box-hitch rather than a Euro ball. It wouldn't stay upright on a ball hitch - there would be nothing to stop it falling over.
This is an American towbar with the box that I think this thing is designed to fit in, with the adapter to a ball-type:  Also, nose weight on Euro car towbars is usually no more than 100Kg so 200lbs total which is pushing it for a couple of adults! Edit - D2 is 75Kg, D3 is 95Kg Last edited by MikkiJayne; 4th July 2016 at 05:33 PM.
