In this video I pass on a tip that will help you avoid a misaligned 13 pin plug.

Hi Colin, A good detailed video there 👍. You’re right, the plug can easily become misaligned and won’t push into the socket. It happened to me once but I managed to twist the plug back into place. I then bought an alignment tool but its never happened since 😅. Cheers Rob

Hi Colin. Great tip. If its out of line its impossible to connect. I got an alinement tool with the van when I bought but no one told me what it was for? I had figure it out for myself. Thanks Phil.🙂👍

Hi Colin. Good video. I'm always getting mine out of line. I bought the platsic guide to line it all back up, but can I find no 😅 thanks for sharing Paul

It’s the twisting that does it, Guy on our storage uses the alignment tool as a cap to keep weather out. Good job we can all be trusted. Thanks for your support.

Hi Colin. The best way to avoid misalignment of the 13 pin plug is not to store it in the 'A' frame fairing location as the plug can slightly rotate as it's inserted and/or removed due to the locating hole's shape. The alignment tool doubles as a storage cap. It has a rubber 'O' ring inside which keeps out water and dust. Using the tool as a cap will naturally prevent misalignment issues. Incidentally, on the 13 pin plug, it isn't the centre section with pins that rotates, it's the outer plug body. Regards, Barry.

Thanks Barry your right about the ‘A’ frame it’s why I never insert it whilst holding the plug. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 😁👍
