Vehicle Electrical Requirements
Brake Controller
All MDC campers and caravans require an electric brake controller to be fied 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 naonal laws on breakaway systems, you must supply a maintenance charge to the baery/baeries that
power the system should it be acvated. In all MDC products, the breakaway is powered by the house baeries in the
caravan. For this purpose and Anderson plug connecon is fied to all MDC caravans on the drawbar. Your vehicle will
need to be fied 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 sensive relay or switching device may be used to
protect the start baery when the car engine is stopped.
