I've had a tow bar fitted today the car is a diesel CX-5.
In the UK we have a voltage sensitive relay fitted to enable battery charging and fridge cooling to the trailer (caravan).
This relay seems reluctant to pull in, it needs around 13 volts to pull in, and there lies the problem, I don't know how the alternator charge is managed but with the engine on fast tick over up to 2K revs, the voltage across the battery never goes above 13 volts, it may do when running on the road but not while stationary.
Any ideas? Or similar experiences.
