    also, i think you have the mount for the plug on the wrong side of the hitch mount. it should be bolted onto the other side, but still facing left
    I thought that too as I had seen others but it Dosnt reach. And the cut out is bigger on the left. I tried a couple of ways to try make it fit but nothing worked

    hmm perhaps they are supplying the wrong part with the kit?

    i need to take mine off, or just leave it where i left it and deal with it. if it doesnt fall off and doesnt foul anything, i really dont mind where it is

    Turns out that Skoda changed there towbars for mid 2014 onwards compared to the ones they had for release in 2013. The wiring has changed 3 times. Once with each Towbar and agin in 2015. Seems westfalia have not cought up in Aus as the only offer the 2013 version.
    Have comm6acted westfalia and waiting a response. Think I'll just get a refund and buy the genuine Skoda one and fit it myself....again.
