According to the Caravan Club
http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/media/1022790/ towbar-wiring-mo.pdf Pin
9 and Pin 10 should both be of 21.5A capacity.


The main issue seems to be that modern large fridge/freezers require a
lot of power to operate and so require their own dedicated supply (as
large as possible).


Maybe this pin should be considered and used as a battery charging
supply for the dedicated battery in the caravan?


?

Pin 9 is for battery charging and always on.

Pin 10 is for the fridge and switched by the ignition.

Both circuits are needed, must be fully functional and separate. Pin 9
also powers the ATC Trailer Control as well as charging the battery and
powering the internal lights.

If there is barely enough power to run the fridge/freezer it isn't going
to be able to power all the other stuff as well.
