I have been informed along with my car most Hybrids and EVs don't connect the pins 9 and 13. I suppose this is they don't want you to drain the batteries with potential Fridge and charging the caravan battery from the vehicle. Had anyone got around this?

I am changing my tow car and my choice will probably be a diesel such as the Ford Kuga 148bhp, Kia Sportage 136PS or a Ssangyong Korando 176bhp, all of which have adequate kerbweights for my caravan - do any members have any of these cars and what is their opinion on their towing ability, mpg, etc?

We are about to venture out on our first touring trip today and have checked our tyre pressures. They should be 33psi front and rear normally and 35 psi front and 41 psi rear fully laden. We have just checked them and they are all 41psi. The car is only 3 months old and was checked by the dealer about 6 weeks ago so we…
Does anyone know if Mercedes E class estate factory fit towbar electrics will power the van fridge as standard? My last two BMWs came without the additional connections after specific order instructions and the extra wiring had to be retro fitted by the dealer I think Audi may fit the necessary wiring on all their cars’…
Noticed this yesterday, from the 5th April 2022 charging up a PHEV has increased from £2.00 to £9.00, for us that work out at 90 pence a kWh ? https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/whats-on/caravan-club-news/vehicle-charging-on-uk-club-campsites/
