Hello Gravesyt,

I'm sure it could be done, but why? It will probably cost more to have custom fit and reprogram than just having the standard fit. also consider the future, you may at some time find you need the trailer battery charging facility, and when you come to sell the car, a non standard system could actually devalue the car.

I suggest go for the standard fit, and simply don't connect the wires in the trailer plug to the cars battery charge / and fridge circuits.

Thanks Prof
was having a re-thinks and going over thing last night got to thinking if I don't turn the master switch = not charging of the batt and nothing else should be drawing any power from the car except the lights which is what I am after unless there is a bypass system she a bailey gt60 520/4 But as you said its best to get the full system. Thanks again
