1. Q: What is the difference between single and twin electrics? A: The single electric's socket (black 12N) supplies tail, brake, fog and indicator electrics for trailers and caravans. Twin electrics include the 12N socket plus a second socket (grey12S) this supplies the supplementary electrics required to run the fridge, interior lights and charge the supplementary battery etc. in a caravan or trailer tent.

2. Q: I want to tow a light trailer, not a caravan, do you supply a lighter towbar? A: No, all towbars must be capable of towing the vehicles maximum approved towing weight.
