Electrical Safety
The 240v electrical system in your caravan has been certified by a trade qualified person. Under no circumstances
should an unqualified person interfere with, modify, or repair this system. An RCD safety device is fitted to this
caravan for your safety.
•
Always use a 15amp lead to connect to mains power
•
Do not modify the earth pin to accommodate a lesser lead
•
When connecting to 10amp mains, always use an approved adapter
•
Never coil power leads when in use. Lay the lead out in lengths in a safe manner that prevents
creating a trip hazard.
Vehicle Electrical Requirements
Brake Controller
All MDC 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 Caravan
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.
