As for powering a fridge or battery charging, in both cases it would surely be undesirable to have these in action before the engine was running? It seems odd that these two pretty standard caravan features require a modification to the towbar electrics to make them work properly when they could easily be incorporated into the trailer module.
P.S. And when I think about it, you’d probably want the engine running before releasing electric brakes.

Unfortunately my hanes caravan book is too old for these issues and even a wiring diagram of a typical towing module is absent.
Having just baught a new van it's something I shall have to consider as well.
Seems a lot of Google searching is on the cards to find answers.
I fear dealers have as much clue as owners do at the moment.
I will certainly follow this tread with interest and post any information I find.
Does pin 10 offer power to the atc devise on newer vans?
