The Maypole 12V 13 Pin Twin Cable Conversion Plug is designed for converting caravans originally fitted with traditional 12N & 12S twin electrical wiring to a modern single 13 pin plug connection. It provides a practical solution when updating older caravan towing electrics without replacing the existing twin cables.
Older caravan electrical systems commonly used separate 12N & 12S connections, while modern caravan towing applications increasingly use a single 13 pin connector. The MP124 allows the two existing cables to enter a single 13 pin plug, helping create a neater and more convenient connection between the caravan and a suitably equipped tow vehicle.
The plug features 13 nickel-plated pins with screw terminals, providing straightforward electrical connections during installation. Maypole states that nickel-plated pins can provide a better electrical connection and greater corrosion resistance than standard brass pins, making them particularly suitable for a towing accessory that may regularly be exposed to outdoor conditions.
A dedicated twin cable entry system accommodates two different cable diameters, with entries suitable for 9–10mm and 7–8mm cables. This arrangement is specifically designed around caravans already fitted with separate 12N & 12S wiring.
Modern 13 pin towing connections combine the functions that previously required two separate connectors into a single connection system. This can save space around the towbar and simplify connecting the caravan each time you hitch up. Maypole’s 13 pin connector range uses the European-style system commonly found on modern caravan towing installations.
Correct wiring is essential when modifying caravan or trailer electrics. If you’re unsure about the existing 12N & 12S wiring or how the MP124 should be connected, Maypole recommends consulting a caravan dealer or qualified auto electrician.
Upgrade an existing twin 12N & 12S caravan wiring system to a convenient single 13 pin connection with the Maypole Twin Cable Conversion Plug.
