Caravan ATC Problem (Solved)

[@busterboy7505]

Just watched your video Phil , it’s really great when people like yourself put videos like this one out on KZbin to help others many thanks 👍👍.

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Thanks BB. We try our best. I just wish more folk watched the new ones. Thanks for your support. Phil🙂👍

Thanks for sharing this one Phil, I think I may have the same problem with my 2020 Bailey as there is no light displayed on the ATC. I will carry out your suggested checks and see what I can uncover. Much appreciated, you have another subscriber to your channel. Cheers Colin

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Colin. Thanks for watching. Just to let you know the LED could also be faulty. We had ours replaced after owning the van just 6 weeks. Replacing the LED is very easy to do. Thanks again and welcome to the Channel. Phil🙂👍

@@lostweekendscaravan thanks Phil, I will check that too. No noise coming from the brakes when I connect so suspect it could be deeper than a bulb unless the bulb is part of the circuit. Thanks again Colin

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Colin. There is very little that can go wrong mechanically. Try the fuse, cable connection and test your connection from the Tow Car. Hope this helps. Phil🙂👍

Excellent video. I make sure I carry a couple of 17mm spanners from now on.

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Not a bad idea. I have a couple of adjustable spanners in my tool bag. Thanks Phil🙂👍

[@escapetothecaravan9505]

Thank you for this. We have the ATC but haven't taken it out yet so fingers crossed we won't have any issues. We know where to come if we do!

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Thanks. Nothing to worry about, just have lovely time when you do get out on the road. Thanks again Phil🙂👍

[@karenandchris1709]

Many thanks for the advice its clearly a simple fault that could develop at anytime. As we receive a discount on our insurance due to the fact of having ATC on our caravan.The insurance make it clear that the ATC must be activated/functional for every journey. Failure to do this would void any insurance claim for a loss of control accident. 👍👍👍

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Karen & Chris. Yes you are quite right. A simple but unusual issue. Thanks for watching. Phil.🙂👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

Glad you got it sorted Phil, good job you weren’t going off on a trip! Cheers

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Thanks Martin. Yes pleased we were not away. All sorted and been away since. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

[@geofffoster1704]

Thanks Phil very useful information 👍

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Thanks Geoff. I thought it was worth sharing. I hope no one has any issues. Thanks Phil🙂👍

[@ItchyFeetcaravanners]

Cheers for this one Phil. Just goes to show what a headache a simple connector fault can cause. I wonder whether or not the plug was ever 100% plugged in "until it clicked". Glad you got it sorted and here's to trips away 😀

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Mart. I am guessing that it was not fitted properly at the build stage and just worked loose. Thanks Phil🙂👍

[@HereWeTow]

Glad you sorted it Phil 👍

We have just had the same problem 👍🏻

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Dave I hope you got it fixed. Thanks Phil🙂

[@colinrimmer789]

Which tester did you purchase Phil? Always good to hear from somebody who’s used the product. Saw a vid recently were device they bought was Cr*p. Thanks for sharing.

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Colin. I don't have it to hand but it was the one Martin showed in his video. Thanks Phil.🙂👍

[@paulyp4541]

Hi Phil, I’ve got a 2018 Sprite Major 6TD. Did you get the ATC fitted as a dealer fit option, as mine didn’t come fitted with that as standard?

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Paul. Good question. We had it factory fitted when we ordered the van. I think it can be fitted as a retro mod.. Thanks Phil👍🙂

[@foreveryoung3907]

Hi I’ve bought a caravan with this fitted my car doesn’t feed the power to it . Is it just a live feed it needs to go to the pin in the plug and it will activate?

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hello the answer is yes it requires a live feed from the car. If you have a universal wiring from the car this maybe the issue. The best wiring system is a car specific for your make and model. I hope this helps. Phil.

[@foreveryoung3907]

@@lostweekendscaravan thanks for the response. So if I loop a wire from the constant live at my plug into the pin that would feed my ATC would that work? It could literally be done at the back of the socket with the correct rated wire??

[@gavinstreetie1473]

I was thinking of buy a tester ? What you reckon ? Imagine if this happens in Europe? However good news it’s just the plug , I wonder how those plugs became lose , I checked mine today Interesting one 😎 “ 20 pound going in “

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Gav and Z plus the Rockster. I don't think it was fitted properly at build. Would you Gravy with that. 😂😂😂😂. Take Care P&J

[@davidmbell]

ATC didn’t exist I don’t think back in 2003 when my Elvis was made 😜

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi David. I think you are right. We added it as an option which I think it has activated once since use.. I hope Elvis is fighting fit for your trips away. Phil👍🙂
