Thanks - that make sense! My battery is indeed in the rear and about 12 inches from the rear lights and bumper so looks like an easy(!) job. Just looked at my more recently made VW Golf and it looks like there are plug in sockets located on the back of the light cluster which I guess is where one would attach the custom made loom ends from the tow bar socket.

I will give Pf Jones a call

Ours was fitted at home one morning. Have damaged a few walls and stuff since, but the tow bar looks fine and still works. Must remember to give it the usual wash, brush up and polish before towing on Thursday, prevents the groaning and moaning. Trying to get Agger down to do it for me, but he's getting lazy in his old age.

Modern CAN bus systems are VERY difficult and need specialist wiring, relays etc, and, as mentioned, may require re-programming of the tow car's ECU !

However basic road lights on older vehicles are reasonably easy to deal with :) - general purpose kits are readily available to splice into the appropriate circuit - if a Fridge/Charging circuit is required don't forget to use a Relay which prevents the battery from draining when the engine is NOT running ! ! Also don't neglect heavy amperage wiring AND equally heavy EARTH return cables ! ! (good earthing too, for the road lights and indicator circuits) :)

Thank you kind Eribafolk. I must admit I'm feeling somewhat lacking in camper knowledge! I'll get on to it tomorrow.
Now...little matter of a cuppa shelf?

I always got up before I made tea..............Gladly couldn't reach the kettle.

Ok still pondering on what tow bar I need. At least until next week when my fitter gets back of his 3 week holiday. Yes I did mean 3.
As to coffee table and bed I don't mix these as I am very clumsy and would have a wet bed. Only through spilling coffee. As I can already here sniggers and who wet the bed jokes.
Hope you get it sorted flowerpot fairy

Thank you all. Especially love the little hook on table Randa. Where did you buy the aluminium strips from? Hmmm...thinking...I could attach a short leg to rest on the bed as the idea is to have tea in bed! Et voila!

This strip should be ok for what you need
