ATC on caravan - is L322 up to it?

lenb · Feb 2, 2015

Hi All,
I wired in a separate feed for the ATC on my caravan, and converted my p38 to 13 pin electrics. Do I need to do the same on my L322 or are the electrics in standard form up to it this time?

Thanks in advance

Air Traffic Control.......

or a hand-holding system for caravanners that don't know how to react to the van snaking (Automatic Trailer Control)

As far as I can see a 12v 25amp supply is all that is needed...and whether this comes from the permanent live in a 7 pin, 12S or 13 pin plug ...or indeed a totally separate supply... is up to you. Either way..is something else waiting to go wrong.

25A ?! doubt the trailer plug will have any thing that substantial
It all goes through an ECU

ALCO 's Automatic Trailer Comtrol takes an immediate 15 amp from the supplementary socket. On my P38 the wire was not 'strong enough' so I had to put a dedicated cable in with separate fuse. (It works fine on the p38). I was wondering if anyone knows wether I need to do the same on my L322

Should that not be an "Automatic Talent Compensator"?

You will need a dedicated cable or get a decent anti snaking hitch.

Brake gentle to put the trailer brakes on then accelerate to pull it straight. Then slow gradually.

How big is the caravan?

With the weight of the l322 and the average caravan the ATC is just a waste of money even with my 1.9t German job its not heavy enough to pull my LSE around, the 3.5 does wobble a bit but nothing to get giddy about

Bought the caravan whilst still using my P38 and the ATC was into the price of the caravan. Although it tows fine behind my L322 I want to fit the extra electrics so that battery charges and reversing lights work - this means the ATC will also work, hence the question.
