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.
Amp Up Auto Electrical specialises in professional towing and safety integrations. We don’t just “hook up” wires; we engineer reliable electrical solutions that ensure your brakes respond instantly, your batteries stay charged, and you have a clear view of everything behind you.
Electric Brake Controllers
Safe stopping is the highest priority when towing. We install premium Electric Brake Controllers (EBCs) that allow you to 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.
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.
Tow Plug Wiring
Whether you need a standard 7-pin or a heavy-duty 12-pin plug, we provide robust wiring solutions. We ensure all light circuits—including reverse and auxiliary power—are pinned correctly and shielded from the elements.
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.
Towing Upgrade Pricing & Enquiries
Every vehicle and trailer combination is unique. We provide tailored quotes based on your specific equipment and vehicle type.
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 wiring that may need “cleaning up” for safety.
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.
