- Due to having 13pin socket on my car and the 7n & 7s plugs on my caravan falling apart I decided to remove both and replace them for the 13pin Euro plug.
This is a short video on how I changed them over. The whole job took around 2 hours and was fairly straight forward.

Very good video. Clear shots and spreadsheet too make it excellent!
Very helpful. I pondered doing ours but bottled it in the end and got in done with a service! Thanks for sharing, Rich.
I pondered it for a while, then took the plunge. Was ok but a little confusing due to some wire colours not matching up! Glad I did it though. Cheers Martin 👍
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. 👍
It’s a fiddly job but worth it in the end. Cheers
all dam day thank you
Great job.
Thanks for watching 👍
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
Glad you found your answer. Thanks for comments and watching 👍
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
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
Hi Chris, Yes a fairly straight forward job, just need to take your time. cheers Martin
@@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
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
Not sure on that one, I would check with an auto electrician.
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
Hi Kev, yes just one lead. Time consuming job but for me worth it. Thanks
do you have blue no 2 clear or do you put a live there
no i dont just looked it up you leave it clear
Blue 2 would be for fog lamps, if fitted.
We're do you get the cable and socket from cheers.
Cable and socket got from Amazon
And did you soldier the wire together in the junction box.
No soldier, used block connector.
@@TheCaravanNut thanks mate keep up the good work
How did connect the wires in the gang box?
Have answered you question on message, cheers
Hi thanks thats sooooo helpful, where can I buy the 13 pin cable ? and the plug for that matter ?
You can get the cable and plug from any caravan dealer or Amazon!
