If I tow my caravan with the fridge on and then turn on the headlights or hazard lights the cruise control cancels itself out.
If the lights are already on then just using the indicators has the same effect.
When I had the towbar fitted all the connections were scotchlocked and the fridge wiring was connected to the main feed to the fusebox.
I have remade all the connections with soldered joints and run the main fridge feed direct to the battery in an attempt to reduce voltage drop.
I suspect voltage drop because my previous trailer did a similar thing to a lesser degree but was fitted with fewer lights.
In the dark I am adding something like 20 more watts of lighting to the total loadbefore adding on the current draw from the fridge and charging the caravan battery.
I could leave the fridge off but that would mean the lager gets warm.
There must be more than a few European members who tow, so has anyone else had similar problems and what, uf anything did you do to overcome it.
I'm posting in the Europe section 'cos I don't think our US members will believe that we can tow caravans with a 6.
