towbar wiring 12s socket

Post by grasmere59 »

I'm going to wire up a 12s socket (grey one) so the car is able to run the fridge and charge the battery in the caravan,i know how to wire it up but the problem is that i have to run 2 fused feeds from the battery to the back of the car,i've just had a scout around the engine bay on the battery side and i buggered if i can see a way to get the cable out of the engine bay into the footwell without drilling a hole,any ideas chaps?

Just a thought,is there a dedicated fuse in the fuse box for the towbar wiring power?
