Excellent description, I watched a different video on the same subject and was no wiser! Well done and thank you.

[@CaravanningwiththeMrs]

Thanks for your comment and glad you found it useful. Yes I found that by watching some other people's vlogs, so I tried to fill in the missing bits.

[@heyholetstow]

Yea, we needed one of those when we had an issue a month or so ago.

Worth having just in case you ever have problems plugging into the towbar socket. Go outdoors sell them for a pound 😀

Thanks for this video, moved car from caravan after setting up and had left electrics connected. Would not connect again so eventually found your video found a go outdoors with them in stock and all good to drive home from our holiday in Wales.

Glad to have been off service! And glad you got back ok. Yes same thing happened to us. Now the pins are often misaligned.

It's not a "alignment tool" it is a weather shield socket which screws onto A Frames to house the trailer plug when not in use, hence the name parking plug. It has been used as an alignment tool since the advent of 13 pin electrics and it does that job extremely well

Don’t twist the plug other than inserting it in or taking it out of the car. When “parking” it in the holder on A frame fairing twist it using cable to secure. I’ve not had issue with mine in 13 years so I must be doing something right. All the same handy tool for spares box, and next time I’m in Go Outdoors 👍

I never had a problem in 12 or so years with my old caravan. Replaced it last year and the pins go out of alignment almost every time. They apparently have changed the design of the plug…why I have no idea 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@geoffstorey9616 interesting Geoff perhaps quality has deteriorated, it wouldn’t surprise me.
