Hi,

looking at the link for towsure, I've never actually found anywhere in France, Belgium or Holland I could have plugged the continental end in.

Every hook up so far has had the standard blue connector. Some have been a long way away, so I have an assortment of leads of varying lengths. I have to admit I've also never checked the polarity as well.

Mike

That's interesting. I think I'll make up an adapter with blue plugs and buy an extension too.

Recommend you adapt a short length of 'blue' to reverse polarity, and buy straight forward continental adaptor - that covers all options.

Miss DM would like me to stop buying magazines. It would be nice if you could go on the magazine website, pay a nominal fee and get a pdf of the article.
