Well, with purchase of a van with a reversing light appears I'll need as 12S after all
and maybe just maybe wire up fridge and split charge too. Well i did run a couple
of HD live wires down truck few years back so much of work done.

So do I go the 12n/s route or euro 13 which I gather is a better design in terms of
condition of connections and damp sealing. What I have now noticed is the 13 is not
compatable with the 12n - as I'm sure it was once suggested the N would fit in the
centre of a euro to offer basic road lights. seems then i would still need a 13 to 2x7
adapter until rewire van too, Or retain a 12n for basic/older trailers.

Thought about this when we got our new(er) van, having to replace the sockets on the mav, having looked around found it cheaper to go down the 12n/s route, also can still tow anyone elses caravan if needed.

I fit towbars and toi be honest I would recoment the 12 s/n route just on the basis that too much euro influence has allready done enough damage to this country
