    The problem I have found with both generic splice-in and manufacturer's piggy-back kits is that they required a direct feed (or two) from the battery. Not so bad if the battery is in the boot but a PITA if it's at the front.
    If you're talking about a dual-socket 12N/12S or 13-pin kit, then - yes, absolutely. Because among the pins are +12v ignition-live charge feeds to a caravan's leisure electrics. (12S - pins 2/4/6, 13-pin - 9/10/12). Hard to do that without a feed from up front. Then there's whatever feeds back to the dashboard's trailer-indicator warning light.
