Seems reasonable. Thing is that I don't need to tap into the wiring, 'cos there's already this "pre-wiring" which terminates in a socket by the spare wheel apparently ready for the tow-bar electrics. What I don't know is whether this is simply a tap into the loom as you describe, or whether it's altogether better (eg. already a relay inline etc).
