Changing from 7n & 7s to 13pin Euro plug.

Very good video. Clear shots and spreadsheet too make it excellent!

My two 7-Pin leads (in a 1990's ABI) went up a hole in the floor to a connection/ fuse panel easily reached under the front of one of the beds. I removed them completely and my new 13-Pin lead goes directly to that panel. I had no need for an intermediate connection box. By making the new lead "too long" you can simply adjust its hanging length by pulling some back into a bit of a loop under the floor before clipping it to the A frame.

I looked at bringing the cable from inside the van but it went directly into the consumer unit so didn’t want to touch that. I have since changed the van and have 13pin on there. Thanks for comments and watching 😊

This is a job I must do, because I'm fed up of the crappy adaptor I've got. The 12N and 12S wires enter the caravan under one of the front beds, and go into a Junction box. It'll just be a case of unscrewing all these wires and replacing them with the new wire for the 13 pin plug. Cheers Martin. 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

It’s a fiddly job but worth it in the end. Cheers

Hi thanks thats sooooo helpful, where can I buy the 13 pin cable ? and the plug for that matter ?

[@TheCaravanNut]

You can get the cable and plug from any caravan dealer or Amazon!

@@TheCaravanNut Thank you so much for the prompt reply,,,

[@eaglestu6639]

And did you soldier the wire together in the junction box.

[@TheCaravanNut]

No soldier, used block connector.

I’ve got a trailer running 7 pin, will that be alright to just change for a 13 pin as long a I wire correctly

[@TheCaravanNut]

Not sure on that one, I would check with an auto electrician.

[@anthonyregan5008]

How did connect the wires in the gang box?

[@TheCaravanNut]

Have answered you question on message, cheers

Changed the lead on my caravan after had towbar done on my car last year. Was for me a straight forward job with been an electrician but anyone with some DIY experience can tackle it

[@TheCaravanNut]

Hi Chris, Yes a fairly straight forward job, just need to take your time. cheers Martin

[@chrismaplethorpe6781]

@@TheCaravanNut when did mine i went through all the connections a few days before I started and made a diagram of the fuse box the cable went in to under the seat. Got spade lugs on the cable ready then just disconnected and reconnected on core at a time. Had the 13 pin socket fitted to car with towbar simply to make back of car look less cluttered

[@eaglestu6639]

We're do you get the cable and socket from cheers.

[@TheCaravanNut]

Cable and socket got from Amazon

[@kevandrews4699]

Hi ya useful video does that mean now u change to a 13 pin plug u will only have one lead now instead of two Kev

[@TheCaravanNut]

THANK YOU...THANK YOU... THANK YOU... I HAVE BEEN LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET ALL DAM DAY JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT THE COULOR CODE AND PIN AND NUMBER GO WITH CHARGE 12 S PLUG

[@TheCaravanNut]

Glad you found your answer. Thanks for comments and watching 👍

[@dukenukem5768]

Don't know why it should have taken you so long. I just tried Googling "Caravan connector colour codes" and the first hit was www.britishcaravannersclub.co.uk/Help%20Advice/information/wiring.php and further down the page was the even more authoritative www.caravanclub.co.uk/media/1022790/towbar-wiring-mo.pdf

[@michael6692]

[@michael6692]
