Do make sure you specify that you want the auxiliary feeds for the caravan fridge and battery recharging. Toyota dealerships will charge a premium to fit the tow bar (even if they use another company to do it) so better to go to a registered fitter.

Unfortunately this will not work without having to make some changes to the caravan's 12V wiring as car connection only powers the fridge, and the on board caravan battery. All other circuits are normally isolated when towing. My suggestion relies on the assumption you have a suitable...

I'm having difficulty in envisioning the problem you have with the interference of the motor mover mains switch and access to the EHU connection point. A picture of the area of the caravan would help to clarify the situation. But to answer your specific questions, A second EHU input is...

Absolutely correct! It was a wise move to have a change over switch.

There is an overriding issue that must also be considered. Under UK and EU regulations you can only fit a towbar and hitch assembly that meets the present regulations. The items must be approved for the vehicle to which they are fitted. I suspect that Dixon Bate have not got the...

It is certainly part of the test procedure for testing an installation is to ensure the protective device do operate correctly. But as Mr Plod has said the test should only cause the local trip to work, not the one in your house. These trips can and do wear out with age, and it...

Just be wary if probing with a multimeter, the spark has a potential well above 10,000 Volts and if it discharges whilst your connected tp the spark wire (Semi translucent wire) it may permanently damage some cheaper DMM's. Spark gaps between the probe to burner will typically be 3...

Whilst there may be similarities such as having two batteries (Traction and Auxiliary) The way these interact will depend on the design of the specific vehicle. Hybrid simply means its a combination of two processes, it doesn't mean all Hybrids are the same.

As JTQ has pointed out, with such a low gross weight, there are real concerns about the available loading capacity of the caravan, especially as you claim its a three berth. Although you haven't told us in this thread about your tow vehicle, provided it is approved for towing (...

Are we sure we haven't just been copied into a US government discussion about plans for a raid ?????

I'm interested to know how you have established this diagnosis?

Hello Bib, Congratulations on the forthcoming birth and thank you for the well considered question(s) you have posted. You seem to have decided on the Honda which as far as I know is well regarded for its build and reliability as well as both as a solo and tow vehicle. I presume the...

I presume your having a problem with the strength of the magnet? If so if you can find some PVC electrical insulation tape of a colour of your choice, and cover both of the magnets with a layer of tape, that will reduce the holding force. If the holding force is not strong enough just...
