You can splice in at the back - but you won't get the benefit of the car's inbuilt "caravan indicator bulb failure warning" on the instrument display - you'll only get that with the pukka Rover wiring loom. However, the spliced in version does have a warning buzzer to do the same job - but it can be hard to hear inside the car
Your best answer might be to nip in and see Hadrian Caravans at Thornaby Place - they've set 3 of my cars (including the Rover) up for towing, including towbar and electrics and they do know what they're doing.

I'm on holiday atm , could have pm'd you the car wiring code and the towing electric code if I was at home. At least you are getting it sorted,I have bought stuff from Hadrian before when I had problems, as I was staying at WW Park at the time.
