I often wonder how the change from 7pin electrics to 13 pin electrics was received in the early days...
Often?

Sheesh...

You need to find yourself a more interesting hobby...

It's probably because our Eriba, although imported from the Netherlands, came with a 2x7pin electrics and, because I also tow a trailer, I decided to have the car wired to suit. By the way, we bought the towing trailer while we were in France during the mid noughties and it had a standard 7 pin plug.

How frightening and what an unfortunate mishap. We wish Viv a successful return to full mobility and hope you can make the Summer Meet. It would be very nice just to see you both there. Robin & Pat.

The 13 pin plug was introduced around 1990 It was supposed to become the European standard, our Burstner which we bought new in Germany in 1991 came with a 13 pin plug and I specced a 13 pin socket on our susequent towing vehicles, I also tow a trailer, again purchased in Germany it's a Heinemann and has a detachable drawbar, it has a 13 pin plug but has redundant pins.

I don't see the need to change whatever set up you have, we never had any problems with the Burstner which we had for 18 years, I still have the trailer and again no problems.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy your Eribaing
