Hi

I'm about to but this camper van and am looking at getting a tow bar fitted.

The problem is, no one, including Ford can tell me if this vehicle requires a tow bar module.

Any comments would he greatly appreciated

I would fit one of those 7 pin by-pass relays,even if it is not needed.The wiring to the rear lights is so thin that any extra load is bound to cause issues.These can be bought for around £20 off the "bay".

Hi

It has always been to fit a bypass relay to everything after 2004.

Also if Ford can not tell you if it needs a module.
Just fit a bypass relay but take the power and earth from the battery.
