Hi guys, Briohny here
from Accelerate Auto
Electrics and Air Conditioning
on the Sunshine Coast.
Today, we've done a huge job
on this Land Rover Discovery 4
that's behind me.
This car now has the
ultimate towing setup.
I'm gonna take you on
a quick tour around it
and let you know what we've installed.
The first thing that we have
installed for these guys
is a reverse camera.
The screen for the reverse
camera is mounted here.
Now, the camera on this is
actually on the caravan.
What this allows them to
do is while you're driving
you can see behind you and
it gives you vision to see
right behind you and usually
the two lanes either side.
It's fantastic when you're
driving on the freeway
and need to overtake or merging lanes.
You can see everything behind you.
They are absolutely awesome
and one of the must-haves
I think when you have a caravan.
Next up, we have installed an
electronic brake controller.
As usual, we recommend
the REDARC TowPro Elite.
You can mount little
dial for these anywhere.
These guys have opted to have
it mounted just down here
under the steering column.
At the rear of the vehicle,
we've got several plugs
that we've installed here.
The first one is what connects the camera.
This plugs into the camera on the caravan
and makes it work on
the screen in the car.
That tucks away neatly in
here and we've got a plate
that goes over the top of it.
The next one is the 12-pin plug.
This connects everything in
the vehicle to the caravan,
so you turn your indicators
on in the car, it'll work
the indicators in the
caravan, also for brake lights
and various other things.
We then fitted two Anderson plugs here.
We've got the grey one and
that charges the batteries
in the caravan while you're driving.
This is a really great
option so that you know
when you arrive on site
that the batteries are fully charged
so you can setup to free camp
and that sort of thing.
We've also now got a
red Anderson plug here.
We use the different
colours to differentiate
between what you need to connect to them.
Red will only connect to red,
grey will only connect to grey.
And this one hooks up the
electronic stability and control
or the ESC.
That is computerised technology
that improves a vehicle's
stability by detecting and
reducing the loss of traction
or skidding.
That means that the caravan
that they have purchased
is equipped with that.
It doesn't come standard with
most caravans on the road.
That's pretty much it,
a really simple overview
of this Discovery 4 and the towing setup
that we've done for it.
If you do need any help or
advice on what to set up
in your car or caravan,
you can give us a call
on 1300 227 353 or comment below.
Have a good day.
