Isn't that @Spjnr grenadier?
Apparently, not a straight forward job to wire up the Redarc. I'm in 2 minds whether to mount my compressor under the seat, heat is a factor. I may mount it on the back of my drawer system instead
I’ve kept mine in the same plastic box in the rear drawers for about 20 years. That’ll do me. IMHO portable is best.
I'll likely go wireless and use the WiTi or Electbrake. WiTi also have a wireless trailer plug, although it needs the anti-theft alarm fitted as well. About $1200 all up for the 3.
The feedback I got from Sven who was the first to tow with his Grenadier in Australia was the issue with the wireless systems is that you have to have your lights on which he said made it difficult to read the display. That said he has no intention to change. Just making you aware if you didn't already know
I've got 2, a single piston ARB and a larger 150lpm cheap XTM (which has been brilliant) I've had for ages. Both work well, but I think I'll strap the larger behind my drawer system so it's portable and I don't have to carry it around all the time.
Yes thanks saw that. 'Headlights on' isn't required with the WiTi brake controller, although their anti-theft component is required in the van for it to work. WiTi also do a wireless trailer plug, so I'll be putting the 12 pin trailer socket inside the rear cargo area away from the elements. It takes power from pin 9 from memory.
Great image of the 13 socket wiring thanks, by chance can you confirm the brand of socket, I thought it was maypole but doesn't look like it? (would be best to use the same brand for additional pins I'm thinking..)
I couldn't identify the original manufacturer and ineos no help. So we retro fitted a HELLA instead. Got all the pins out in one piece but had to clip the ends off (leaving a small bit of the crimp) to fit into the Hella. Beware, make a diagram of the position and colours of the German wiring as it is not what you would expect in the UK.
If it is made in Germany there is a good chance it is made by Aspock
How do you get over the conformity/emark issues with the drop plate what would the insurance say if the Ghost dropped off the back??
Good point since it is a Fieldmaster M1. I don't understand how a DB drop plate is fitted if it is only the 2 lower holes that are M16, I thought a DB drop plate required 4 @ M16 holes? Or am I wrong?
