13 pin trailer socket question.

[Loz2286]

I'm after running a 12v charging circuit to my camping trailer to run auxiliary power. In the "old days" there were two sockets 12N and 12S, one of which supplied the trailer light circuits, the other powered fridges etc on a caravan.

My Cali (6.1) has 13 pin electrics, as does my trailer. Can anyone tell me which of the pins provides 12v direct power with a ground return. I am also planning to install an EHU connection so that systems can run when I'm off site with the Cali, and an inverter for running power tools when I'm onsite doing fishery management. The trailer will also be towed by my Caddy which also has 13 pin electrics.

Thanks.

Google "13 pin wiring diagram". Will give you pictures that are both colour and number coded.

Thanks I did after I posted above.

So....I can use 10/11 for a switched supply, and 9/13 for a permanent live supply?

If your T6.1 is anything like my T6, the "fridge" connection isn't avilable.

13 pin towing socket caravan fridge wires

Hi. I have a genuine VW(Westfalia) tow bar with 13 pin electrics fitted to my T6 Ocean. I tow a small micro-caravan. The circuit that powers the fridge does not work. VW say they were unable to connect the appropriate wires and it is not possible on this vehicle. There is a pair of cables...
