Electrics & towing for Go-Pods

Posted on

2 Comments

We've been receiving a few questions regarding the towing electrics for Go-Pods and control panel settings, so here's a quick overview.

Go-Pods™ come with a 13 pin Euro socket and this is the type of electrics you should have fitted if you're adding a tow bar. The tow bar ball is a standard 50mm.

If you have an existing tow bar but with different electrics, (single 7 pin or twin electrics), you can purchase an adaptor.

If you only have a 7 pin socket on your car, you can still tow legally as it will operate the driving lights. But you need 13 pin or twin electrics if you want to charge the Go-Pods' on-board battery and run the fridge while in transit.

On the control panel inside your Go-Pod, select the CAR option on the rocker switch while towing. Once you stop, change the switch to VAN.

Please check out our Videos page for more information on hitching and the control panel.

  1. Go-Pods

    Hi Mike, the 13 pin towing electrics connection has a live feed to the Go-Pods leisure battery, which charges it while towing and keeps the fridge running. The 240v mains connection socket is on the right hand side of the Go-Pod (when facing the door) which allows you to connect to mains electric bollards at campsites.
