Towbar electric adaptor

If the Hilux only has the one 7 pin you cannot do anything. It does not have anything to adapt.

Oh ok, that makes more sense to me. Thank you.

your husband is correct. The 7pin (12N) socket of the Hilux will only power the road lights, as you've discovered. Other than adding an additional 12S socket, ie the grey socket to the Hilux, there's no other way of providing power to your caravan's 'ABS' and fridge etc

You do need to consider the insurance position, with my insurance I get a discount for having ATC ( I assume this is what you mean rather than ABS)  but there is a clause on the policy which says that it must be used at all times, if not then a claim in respect of a "snaking" type accident may be rejected. Perhaps speak to your insurers?

Same here.

Yes very good point, and my guess is that insurance companies have done some research into the effectiveness of ATC and found it offers valuable assistance otherwise they would not be offering a discount for having it fitted. You never know how good a piece of kit is until you need it and you do not have it.
