I’ve had some issues with the service department at Exeter. Car was in for rear main oil seal (booked during warranty but performed just out). When I picked up the car they had broken the cruse control radar but I had to pay for it. Brakes hit warning sensors (needed discs and pads all round) two weeks after I had a service and had told them I was driving to south of France in two weeks time with caravan behind car. They tried telling me I had to wait to book the car in but I had to kick off as I was leaving IN THAT CAR to go in France in 48 hours time. 3 years or servicing never managed to find out why I would get a flat battery after not use ing car for 4 days in a row. kept putting batteries in a key that would stop working a few months after. Again some kind of fault as all the other keys where fine. I’m sure there was more but that’s about all I can think of for now. There cornwall branch is better, but not much.

I fitted a towbar and basic electrics to my Superb Estate SEL 2017. I used a towbar relay from the tail lights and indicators but was only towing a small trailer (100kg) not a caravan. I’d look at what your towing, new towbars are not much more than £100 on evilbay. But only if you can get away with basic wiring, later SEL’s have more toys and might NEED to have programmed vehicle specific wiring. I’m about to look into this my self because I just picked up a brandspancing new 2020 SEL Estate and don’t want to fry anything.
