Vehicle Electrical Requirements
Brake Controller
All MDC campers and caravans require an electric brake controller to be fitted to the tow vehicle by law.
There is a wide range of controllers available that are suitable.
Correct Vehicle Wiring for MDC Caravans
To comply with national laws on breakaway systems, you must supply a maintenance charge to the
battery/batteries that power the system should it be activated. In all MDC products, the breakaway is
powered by the house batteries in the caravan. For this purpose and Anderson plug connection is fitted
to all MDC caravans on the drawbar. Your vehicle will need to be fitted with a power supply to a 50 amp
Anderson plug near the towbar so the trailer can be connected. The vehicle only needs to supply power
while it is running so a voltage sensitive relay or switching device may be used to protect the start battery
when the car engine is stopped.
