I suppose it depends on if the towbar is going to be in the way of the sensor array. If it is low enough it may not effect the signal. Obviously a great big caravan attached to the back will.

I'm pretty sure that when you have towbars fitted the sensors need recalibrating to allow for the intrusion into the detection zone.
