Description
Changing a 7-pin plug on a trailer to a 13-pin plug can provide several benefits:
🔄Increased functionality: The 13-pin plug has additional pins that allow for more functions to be carried out, such as reverse lights and battery charging. This can be especially useful for owners of larger trailers, caravans, and horseboxes.
⚙️Greater reliability: The 13-pin plug is designed to be more robust and resistant to damage than the 7-pin plug. This can reduce the risk of electrical faults and ensure a more reliable connection between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
✅Compliance with EU regulations: The 13-pin plug is the standard connector for trailers in the EU, and it is required for new trailers over a certain weight. By upgrading to a 13-pin plug, trailer owners can ensure that their equipment is compliant with current regulations and avoid potential legal issues.
⚠️Improved safety: The 13-pin plug has separate circuits for lighting and other functions, which can improve safety on the road. For example, if a light circuit fails, the other functions will still work, reducing the risk of accidents.
Overall, upgrading from a 7-pin plug to a 13-pin plug can provide increased functionality, greater reliability, compliance with EU regulations, and improved safety for trailer owners in the UK & Ireland.
