Cruise control is one of those accessories that you don’t think you need… until you try a vehicle with it fitted.
On a long motorway trip, letting the cruise control take the strain of keeping to the speed limit and resting your right foot, your journey just slips by.
Many new motorhomes come with cruise control fitted as standard, but for those of you with earlier models, a retro-fit system is now within reach.
With a range of professional cruise control systems from GoldCruise, we can advise on the right system for your motorhome.
Within this range, we have a choice of 4 base units combined with a selection of 7 command modules. All the base units have a built in SETUP/LEARN mode that allows the user to adjust the major cruise parameters to optimise operation for that individual vehicle. For a complete kit you will require an appropriate base unit (which includes the actuator, wiring loom and fitting kit) and a suitable command module (control unit). The electronic cruise units have a built-in diagnostic function enabling the installer to easily detect and solve problems without any special equipment or lengthy faultfinding.
The choice of base unit depends on the vehicle that it’s being fitted on. All the base units are made to a very high standard having waterproof AMP connections for under bonnet situations.
AP300 Vacuum actuator: Ideal for vast majority of vehicles, petrol or diesel. Smaller body easy to mount in engine bay. Best value for money.
AP500 Electric actuator: NOW SUPERCEDED BY THE AP550. Any vehicle, great for vehicles with limited pedal travel on electric throttles or HGV’s with no vacuum supply.
AP550 Electric actuator: Modified AP500 with 4 stroke lengths and variable cable length. Universal kit for easier fitting in awkward spaces.
AP800 Electronic actuator: Especially designed for ‘Drive by Wire’ vehicles. This unit requires a command module plus a plug-in pedal interface ‘T Harness’ which is vehicle specific. Saves time on fitting, no moving/wearing parts.
There are a variety of command modules available ranging from a dashboard or central console mounted CM7, the deluxe stalk mounted CM25 and the CM19 (LH or RH fitting), gear stick mounted CMGK or the steering wheel mounted infra-red controlled CMIR.
All of these have the possibility of adding a multiple memory unit to hold three preselectable speeds using the CM8.
We always recommend professional fitting for any safety critical system and cruise control is no exception.
At Towtal, we have the skilled professionals to ensure that your cruise control is fitted properly.
