Thread: Discovery 3 LED trailer lights

This is what you want from Triumph Rover Spares in Adelaide

http://www.triumphroverspares.com.au...=15&productid=

Linear Electronics unit arrived (two days after order). Boat trailer connected. Little trailer light flashing. Expense - coupla hundred but expertise & technical knowledge from my end - nil. Effectiveness & reliability - 100%.

Hi Trevor.
How simple was that?
What's 'a couple a hundred' when you know it's going to work......always.
Good, aren't they?
Cheers.

Yep Bob. Appear to be well constructed - with couplings made in Germany not China. I tow several boats depending on who I go out with, a dog trailer & soon the caravan so the ability to swap and know it's going to work is a bonus.

Trevor,
I thought the same as I tow several types of trailers but I got the one that wires into the trailer harness (left hand panel) within the vehicle and had a switch wired so that I can turn it off and on when required. To me it just took another possible weak link out and now it doesn't matter what or whose trailer I tow the assist will always work, (as long as I switch it on).
Cheers

Stottie, agree that the wired in solution would be a neater fit. Coincidentally, when I hooked up the dog trailer I found that the existing lead/connection was (for some reason - probably the difference in tow hitch length from the previous vehicles) just a bee's appendage short at one end. This solved that problem. Appreciate the other poster's solutions & ideas.

Tried the Ford cable on my 2005 RRS, doesn't work. Back to the drawing board.

Hi guys.

I've just listed a Linear Designs module for sale on here in the Marketplace if anyone is interested...
