tell if the caravan battery is getting a feed from my car?  New towbar and electrics, is there a way to tell?  What about  the fridge?  Are there any tell tale signs?

I have a Bailey pageant bretagne Series 5

If the fridge works on 12 volts when coupled to the car then it should be getting a feed but you can test it with a multimeter.Ian

I have a little light on the fridge when you select 12v, it it comes on your in business. I would add that sometimes you need to drive for a moment or so to get it to come on.

I hope this helps

Sorry no it doesn't - I am getting the electrics activated tomorrow (bloody modern cars).  My fridge only has the light that comes on if you open the door.  If I set the fridge to battery then the battery powers it - If the electrics are working on the car then the light would work regardless of whether the battery is charging it?

Why can't I have a lovely light that comes on when power is coming from the car lol
