Good Evening fellow Caravanners, I hope you are managing to get out and visit lots of lovely locations . this spring / Summer. Its a great hobby we have, !
I'm sure someone has had similar experience ref Tow Car electrics
I recently changed my Tow car , now having a 2024 Seat Leon. Diesel Hatchback. It pulls my Base camp 2 van no problem, came with a factory fitted Towbar . It is a very good car.
The only issue is, it doesn't charge up the caravan battery/ fridge whilst on the road. The Lights work etc. The handbook makes reference to this., that not all the sockets in the pin (13 pin ) charge Battery / fridge whilst in motion . I am having it looked at next week at the dealership, so they may be able to assist. In case they cannot, does anyone have any suggestions ? I spoke to a couple of Tow bar fitters, but they said, they do not touch factory fitted Towbars. But maybe some fitters do if I need to explore that option again by phoning around . I 'm hoping that some electrical alteration could be made so that the car can charge the Leisure Battery as standard., ideally by the Dealership
The Base camp does have a Solar Panel, worst case scenario, just have to rely on that whilst on the road and ensure the battery is charged up at home before travel.
Thank you in advance for your help
Good wishes to all
