F60 Tow Bar electrics?

[NeoH]

Just bought a lovely 2022 Autotrail F60 and fitted a TT tow bar (excellent fitting kit).

Decided not to buy the Transit electric loom as the cable run, cab drilling and bulkhead loom connections looked a lot more complicated than local lighting splicing to a bypass relay. Lots of space and wiring access at the back. Just need to run a fused 12v supply to the relay..

Saw some info on the EC176 Sargent habitat module on another post - wondered about the Tow fuses shown - one is D+? Whatever that means. Would be ideal to tap into any existing provision by Adria for tow bar power supply of course.

Anyone had any experience with this.

Thanks!

The wiring for the tow bar needs to have a 'canbus' relay to operate them all as otherwise faults will be thrown up all the time.

I've a '22 Auto-Trail campervan. Searching for wires I think I saw 20amp tow bar fuses in the van. Also got the Sargent EC176 like yours.
Dark and wet here, so get back tomorrow.

Correction - its the EM56 Sargent interface unit that has two possible fuses on it - Towing Permanent and Towing D+…

Thanks, yes, it has a Logicon relay as the bypass to prevent this.
