The computerised systems on modern cars make the towbar's electrics every bit as important as the towbar itself. It's not just the caravan's road lights that have to be powered but, also the fridge and leisure battery too. There are two principal ways of adding trailer electrics to modern cars. The first is the bypass kit, sometimes known as a 'universal' kit. These will fit most cars.

Some vehicles may have an identical figure for the GTW and MAM, in this case if the vehicle loading is limitied below the maximum allowable figure (MAM) it may be possible to tow that difference between actual weight and MAM/GTW. In most cases this will only permit towing the lightest of trailers. For this to work the user needs to be fully aware what their vehicle and trailer combination actually weighs. You can do this by taking it to a public weighbridge. The X-7 influenced other military thinkers after the war. [ citation needed] By the early 1950s a number of experimental systems had been developed (for example, Malkara missile), leading to their widespread deployment in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Large numbers of Israeli tanks were destroyed using wire-guided AT-3 Sagger missiles during the Yom Kippur War of 1973. Wire guidance has remained the main system for most smaller weapons although newer systems such as laser beam riding have come into use in anti-aircraft and some anti-tank use roles (such as the US Hellfire missile and the Russian 9M133 Kornet).electrics provide the 'normal' legal lighting requirements via a single 7 pin electrics plug for brake, indicator and fog lights. 12S electrics provide the 'supplementary', or advanced, electricals through an additional 7 pin twin electrics plug. This includes reverse lights, interior lights and powering the fridge in a caravan. A 13 pin electrical plug combines both the 12N and 12S electrics in one plug and is common on newer cars, trailers or caravans.

There are two types of towbar wiring kits available but the one you need will usually depend on the age of your vehicle. It is always best to buy a vehicle-specific wiring kit as this will synchronise perfectly with your car's electrical system whereas installing a universal wiring kit could impact your warranty. If there is no dedicated connector for towbar wiring we would recommend that all connections are soldered and then covered with heat shrink sleeving. Gunston, Bill (1983). An Illustrated Guide to Modern Airborne Missiles. London: Salamander Books Ltd. ISBN 0-86101-160-0. When a vehicle specific-wiring kit is fitted the car's engine management software is reprogrammed accordingly. Should the vehicle subsequently undergo a software update, which is very likely during a routine service, it is possible for this additional programming to be wiped out. Apart from performance issues this can mean annoying things like the rear parking sensors continuing to operate when the caravan is connected. The answer is to ensure your dealer is aware that a vehicle specific-wiring kit has been installed before carrying out any updates. Its worth noting towbar fitters are aware of this issue and should be able to reprogramme the vehicle to activate the functions. Other towbar considerationsIf the angle of the gear under tow were about 45 degrees (it should be deeper than that) the draft of the chain surge gear would be about half as much, or 14 fathoms. It will usually be deeper, especially at slower speeds. Foreign Military Sale: Pakistan – TOW-2A Anti-Armor Guided Missiles". Archived from the original on 1 May 2011.

Another development of the TOW 2B Aero, the wireless TOW 2B RF is in production. TOW 2B RF is modified with a one-way, stealthy radio-frequency command link, which dispenses with the wire link and gives a range of 4.5km. The system is compatible with current launchers. ITAS improved target acquisition system First produced in 1970, TOW is one of the most widely used anti-tank guided missiles. [9] It can be found in a wide variety of manually carried and vehicle-mounted forms, as well as widespread use on helicopters. Originally designed by Hughes Aircraft in the 1960s, the weapon is currently produced by Raytheon. Therefore, as some A class roads in the UK and many roads in mainland Europe have gradients steeper than 12 per cent (approximately 1 in 8) it’s best to avoid towing up to the manufacturer’s towing limit. Make sure that if the vehicle lights have been removed or disconnected whilst fitting the towbar; they are re-connected and functioning correctly, replacing any blown bulbs if any are noted before proceeding - faulty lights will lead to a faulty towbar installation.Single electrics use one plug to connect your vehicle and trailer electrics. Twin electrics require two 7 pin plugs, which is usually necessary for towing older caravans or trailers. What are 12N and 12S? All of this depends upon the type of work being done and how shallow the tug must go. If you’ve only got a few feet of water under the tug, you are going to be dragging a lot of gear. The Augusta Chronicle: Local & World News, Sports & Entertainment in Augusta, GA". The Augusta Chronicle. Archived from the original on 3 April 2015. It’s a legal requirement that the towcar ‘shall be equipped with an operational tell-tale for front and rear indicators. This is sometimes referred to as the ‘C1’ and ‘C2’ functions (‘C1’ refers to the tell-tale for the car’s indicators – C2 is the extension of that function to the caravan). This tell-tale can be audible or visual. This tell-tale function is sometimes neglected when the towbar wiring is fitted – this is illegal. As mentioned in the introduction, all motorhomes first registered from 29 October 2012 fall under the scope of EC Directive 94/20 and more recently under ECE Regulation 55. This means that such vehicles must have a type approved towbar installed; custom made towbars are no longer suitable and will cause an MOT failure.

Both AT (TOW) Company, 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division and AT (TOW) Company, 3rd Tank Battalion, 1st Marine Division engaged Iraqi tanks with TOW missiles in their M1045/M1046 HMMWVs. These vehicles were configured with a roof-mounted TOW launcher and carried six rounds in the cargo compartment with an additional round in the tube. [35] For penetration of tanks protected with explosive reactive armour (ERA), TOW 2A is equipped with a tandem warhead. A small disrupter charge detonates the reactive armour and allows the main shaped charge to penetrate the main armour. TOW 2A bunker buster missile Alternative leads are obtainable from larger accessory shops, or from component specialists. The use of an adapter lead can make the caravan connections too long, and there is a risk of them dragging on the ground while travelling. Make sure that any such adapter lead includes all of the required wires for your caravan.

On 19 July Hanna Maliar, Ukraine's deputy defense minister, claimed on Telegram that an M2 Bradley had killed Russian infantry during fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region. She further claimed that using TOW missiles the M2 Bradley was able to destroy two Russian T-72 tanks. The Bradley was assigned to the 47th Mechanized Brigade.These claims could not be independently verified. [59] [60] Variants [ edit ] In September 1999 changes were made to the 12S wiring to provide a better supply to fridges, which were becoming ever larger and requiring more power. This change can cause compatibility problems (easily resolvable) if your car and caravan are from different sides of this date. In the past, this was commonly considered a straightforward task for a competent DIY person. In recent years, however, the increasing complexity of vehicle electrical systems has made it more and more difficult to obtain and interpret the technical information necessary to ensure that the required connections are made in a correct and safe manner.
