Hi

We have a Conway crusader 2006. I have a 13 pin adapter on my car for the electrics. Since we had the camper we noticed when I plug the grey electric plug into the car and drive for a short while it will trip the relay on the car.
Do you need to have the switch inside the camper on the car setting, I think I had it in the middle. Could that be the cause?

what else other than the fridge is powered by the grey plug when travelling?

Thanks in advance!

it powers your fridge, charges your battery and runs your reversing lights

Unlikely on a lightweight TT/FC, but where fitted to larger heavier caravans, it also powers the Alko ATC stability system.

No expert on TT/FCs, but I believe similar switch on older caravans, switching between CAR-OFF-LEISURE BATTERY. More modern units are AFAIK auto sensing/switching.

If the centre position is 'OFF', then I don't see it being the cause of your problem.

One of the problems with older outfits/towbar wiring, is that the function of the towbar electrics has changed over the years, AND inevitably it will have been worked on/tampered with as well, so a degree of uncertainty exists with exactly what you have got!

This document may prove useful in determining what you have, and what you should have in terms or wiring. https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/globalassets/pdfs/content/advice-and-training/towbar........

Thank you, wiring diagram very useful. I agree dont think that’s the cause when it’s not switched. I’ll see if I can get a local caravan servicing to give it a check

Thank you
