Now go shove the original invoice in the first installers face and demand a refund or a fair trading meeting :)
Just wondering if Sneigy or anyone else had considered the alternative wiring that Brisbane LR did for Meken he described on page 34 of this thread? That is, tapping in to brake pedal switch via 4 pin protected relay. From what I have understood from this thread, using the pedal switch would have issues but does the relay protect from those problems?
Cheers,
Scott

Fascinating and very helpful discussions and information for this new owner.
Just had our TDV6 fitted with the RedArc TowPro by Tim at Belair Road Auto Electrical. He also fitted an Anderson plug, replacing the white round outlet in the process. Nice and neat all round.
TowPro head unit is neatly located in the LHS of the steering column. Reason is the unit is significantly deeper than the original RedArc unit but easy to access by finger tips as required

Just wondering which company did this install. It looks very neat and tidy.Quote:

You could have come and said g'day to me. My work is about 500 metres up the road from Tim.Quote:

Hi PeterJ, We pick up the van in Melbourne at the end of the month so I can't comment on the performance of the TowPro until then. The van is 20'3" off road with tandem axle and control rider suspension, 16" wheels and 12" off road brakes. Not light, atm of 3140.
Cheers...
Can only comment on the progressive feel of the TowPro when towing the Ulti at around 1000kg and that is very progressive. With the D4 we have set the number at 3.5 to let the car to most of the braking which is not how many approach it but it is easier on the caravan/camper brakes and a lot more efficient with the big discs doing the majority of the work.I can say that if you set it at 6 we get lock up almost it certainly pulls down very hard and that is on light braking in the car. Did a demo with a 3000kg caravan and it felt pretty much the same as the Ulti in a braking sense but boy is that a lot of weight behind youQuote:
