FAQ

What is the difference between a 7-pin and a 13-pin trailer plug?

The 7-pin plug is the standard model for light trailers and caravans, suitable for basic lighting functions. The newer 13-pin plug offers additional functionalities such as powering the reversing light, fog lights, and the caravan's internal circuit. Always check compatibility with your vehicle's socket.

How can I protect my trailer's electrical connections from corrosion?

Regularly apply a specific electrical contact product to the plugs and sockets. This protects the contacts from oxidation caused by the marine environment and ensures a secure and lasting connection. Regularly inspect the connections for any signs of corrosion.

What should I do if my trailer lights are not working correctly?

First, check that all the bulbs are working. Then check that the contacts of the plug and socket are clean and that there are no disconnected or damaged wires. Use a tester to check the continuity of the cables. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the plug or socket.

What are the regulations for trailer lighting?

Regulations vary by country. In general, it is mandatory to have position lights, brake lights, direction indicators and, in some cases, reversing lights and fog lights. Check the specific regulations of your country to ensure you are compliant.

How do I choose the right adapter for my trailer?
