Are you going right back into the van ? or splicing into a water proof connector box just inside the van ? Undecided

Either way  13pin plug n cable make your own any length Undecided

Three meter with pre wired plug ( not a lot of people advertising these at the moment )Frown

Hi Sir Sproket,

I was intending to do it under van in waterproof box,I thought I saw an article in PCv magazine but must have taken it to leave at the doctors

 

Thanks for the links you've done it againLaughing

if you go onto the home page , it has an article about wiring a 13 pin socket to a caravan , at the very bottom of the article , i put now you have done the car , now do a plug on the van , it has link on there and you can buy a 13 pin double cable socket cost £7.69 , i done mine in about 20 mins , i found it very easy saves all that cable alteration , you just take your 12n-12s plugs off and replace with a 13 pin double cable plug

Why not just buy an adapter ready made from somewhere like Towsure. I did and it works a treat.

Sir Roger is kindly lending me an adaptor until its a bit warmer but as others have said the cables get a bit long and untidy.The cable is quite expensive though might well go with the 2 cable link.Thanks very much for that Joeby

We are taking delivery of a new car next month with fitted tow bar and 13 pin socket.

The caravan has two 7 pin plugs,however as we never use the  12S plug (grey) we will be using a 13 pin to 7 pin adapter for the 12N plug ,they only cost £4/£5 from most  and take only seconds to fit.

You would be better putting one of these on the van rather than the adapter plug..........

You have only one connection & its a lot better fit than the old 12n plug......

If you loose or break the adapter, while away how will you get the van home ?

Sir Sprocket,

Really don't see an adapter being lost or broken,the adapter is a bayonet fit onto the socket (same as 13 pin plug) and has a spring cover just like the 7 pin socket so once fitted will be kept plugged in and not removed when not used.
