Second , should one of these lights fail while you ’ re underway , eTow will automatically press one of the other lights into service . For example , if the caravan ’ s right indicator fails , the right brake light will flash when the driver activates the right indicator . Naturally , a warning is sent to the app to alert the driver so that the driver knows to fix the failed light at the first opportunity . However , the functionality of a vehicle ’ s rear lights are a crucial safety concern that eTow addresses in a smart way .
The app is simple and intuitive . Note the buttons at the top for remotely testing the van ' s various rear lights .

Additionally , eTow solves another issue that many vanners around Australia face : the need in some states to have an in-cab alert as to the condition of the battery that powers the van ’ s brake-away braking system .
For this to work , the eTow module needs to be wired to the brakeaway system , but this is readily achievable by the specialist who installs it .
The app will provide an indication of the brake-away battery ’ s state of charge and , on top of that , it can be setup to provide the state of the charge of the RV ’ s house battery .
If all that wasn ’ t enough , eTow provides yet another feature of crucial safety interest : a tyre pressure monitoring system . It works much the same as other commercially available tyre monitoring systems , with transmitters that are screwed to each tyre ’ s valve stem . It can be setup to monitor the pressure of each caravan tyre , the tow vehicle ’ s tyres , and even the van ’ s spare tyre – great !
