ATC fitted to Caravan

Well we finally got the ALKO
ATC fitted to the caravan on Tuesday morning
(very morning 8:00 am). It was expensive 600 quid,
though that included fitting it on the driveway,
instead of 400 quid but a drive down south. I please
with the neat installation, and I think its a
confidence builder having it installed. It a cool
technology solution, detecting sideways and pitching
movements that are increasing, and then automatically
applying the brake via a solinoid (actually it may be
motor driven), this bring the caravan back in line.
The only interaction with the system is a little
multicolor LED on the towbar, its changed colo during
a self test when connecting up. When it turns green,
all is well. So for the last few days the caravan has
been down outside our house, getting a little more
attention that normal, a little heating, and
refilling the drying crystals. I also needs a decent
wash, but I think that will have to wait till after
Christmas when I've got a bit more time.
