Expert installations to get you and your vehicle ready for the road
Whether you are hitting the highway with a heavy caravan or heading off-road with a camper trailer, having the right electrical setup is non-negotiable. Standard factory wiring is rarely enough to handle the demands of modern towing. From basic trailer wiring through to complete brake controller installation, our towing electrical services are built to handle the heaviest loads and the longest trips.
Amp Up Auto Electrical specialises in professional towing electrical services and safety integrations. We don’t just “hook up” wires; we engineer reliable trailer wiring and electrical solutions that ensure your brakes respond instantly, your batteries stay charged, and you have a clear view of everything behind you. Every job is completed by qualified auto electricians who understand how modern towbar wiring integrates with your vehicle’s onboard systems.
Brake Controller Installation
Safe stopping is the highest priority when towing. Our brake controller installation service uses premium Electric Brake Controllers (EBCs) that let you manage your trailer’s braking power from the driver’s seat. From proportional controllers to discrete remote-head units, we ensure your vehicle and trailer stop as one.
We match the right controller to your rig and complete the brake controller installation with clean, protected trailer wiring so your electric brakes perform reliably in every condition — wet roads, steep descents and emergency stops included.
Rearview, Dashcam & Caravan Cameras
Eliminate blind spots and record your journey for peace of mind. Our camera services include:
- Dashcams: Front and rear recording for incident protection.
- Caravan Cameras: Seamless “Rearview” integration so you can see behind your van while driving.
- Multi-Screen Setups: Clear displays that help with hitching up and reversing into tight campsites.
Anderson Plug Leads
Keep your caravan batteries charged or your fridge running while you drive. We install high-current Anderson Plug leads with appropriate fusing and voltage-sensitive relays (VSRs) or DC-DC chargers to ensure power flows only when it should, protecting your start battery.
These leads are often installed alongside your towbar wiring, giving you a single, tidy setup that handles both charging and trailer connections.
Tow Plug Wiring
Whether you need a standard 7-pin or a heavy-duty 12-pin plug, we provide robust towbar wiring solutions. As part of every trailer wiring job we ensure all light circuits—including reverse and auxiliary power—are pinned correctly and shielded from the elements.
Correct towbar wiring is essential for road-legal towing, and our technicians make sure every indicator, brake light and running light on your trailer responds exactly as it should. If your existing trailer wiring is faulty or corroded, we can diagnose, repair or completely rewire it.
Towing Upgrade Pricing & Enquiries
Every vehicle and trailer combination is unique. We provide tailored quotes for our towing electrical services based on your specific equipment and vehicle.
Factors that influence the cost include:
- The complexity of the vehicle’s CAN bus or electrical system.
- The length of cable runs (especially for Anderson plugs).
- The type of camera system and mounting requirements.
- Any existing trailer wiring that may need “cleaning up” for safety.
- The type of brake controller installation your setup requires.
- Whether new towbar wiring or a plug upgrade is needed.
We aim for total transparency. Once we understand your setup, we provide a detailed estimate so there are no surprises when you’re ready to hook up and head out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a 12-pin plug for my caravan?
Often, yes. If your caravan has a large fridge or an internal battery system that requires power while driving, a 12-pin plug (or a 7-pin combined with an Anderson plug) is usually the best solution.
Can you install a camera that stays on while I'm driving?
Absolutely. We specialise in “constant-view” rearview systems that act as an electronic mirror, allowing you to monitor traffic behind your caravan at all times.
Will these upgrades void my new car warranty?
When installed by qualified auto electricians like Amp Up, these upgrades are considered aftermarket accessories and generally do not void your factory warranty, provided they are installed correctly and safely.
Do you supply the parts, or can I bring my own?
We prefer to supply and fit high-quality, proven brands (like REDARC or GME) to ensure we can provide a full warranty on the labour and the product. However, we are happy to discuss fitting your pre-purchased gear.
How much does brake controller installation cost?
Brake controller installation pricing depends on your vehicle’s electrical system and the controller type you choose. Because towbar wiring complexity varies between makes and models, we quote each job individually after a quick consultation so you only pay for what your setup actually needs.
Can you fix faulty trailer wiring or just install new setups?
Both. We handle brand-new trailer wiring and towbar wiring installations, and we also diagnose and repair existing faults — flickering lights, dead circuits, corroded plugs and more. Our towing electrical services cover everything from a single blown circuit to a full rewire.
