Thanks. Wish I'd known about this tool ten years ago when I was stuck on a windy storage site with "electrics that just won't line up !?" Just in case the tool doesn't come with the new caravan on 9/8/22, I've just gone out & bought one from a local dealer :-)
Hi Martin. They are such a handy little tool to have around. I leave mine inside the van from now on. You never know when you'll need it as you have explained. Thanks Phil👍🙂
Thanks for the video. I struggled for nearly two hours trying to hook up before finding your video and realising what the issue was. It was very frustrating and delayed us getting away this weekend. Thanks for all the tips. Much appreciated.
I have two of these and attached them back to back, one is standard and the other one i cut the pins out of, this way if I get a customer with a very badly aligned one I can correct it with that one without taking the plug apart 👍
Hi Phil, I leave ours on when in storage or on site. The seal within the cap protects the hook-up connection better from water ingress, dampness and dust and is by far a better protection method to the 13 pin connector pins than the OEM recomended bayonet recess hole on the A-Frame. Rgs Murray
Met a guy in storage the other day who was having problems connecting ...he had never heard of these I’ve screwed mine to the plastic hitch therefore easy to use
My tip is remember we're you put it. I had my Caravan hitched to car could not connect the electrics. For the life of me could not find the alignment tool. Had to disconnect put caravan back on drive then drive to the nearest dealer buy one, back home again. Aligned pins and connect caravan back to car. To top it all I found the original one about 5 minutes after I got back. Great bit of kit just remember where you put it.
Mid week vid cool 😎, did have one lost it and got another lost that too , great tool if you don’t lose it 😂😂 Hey we had fish and chips ........ with Gravy in the south .... worrying 😂😂 All the best from the Rock steady crew
I thought you were away not watching me? Gravy down south unheard of, what's the world coming too. Were they not Northerners living in the south? Thanks G&Z Plus the Rockster. I hope your having a great time.P&J🙂👍
Ours lives in the locker with the mover handset and all the stuff we use when hitching up. We always had problems with alignment when we had the Bailey and used it regularly, have not used it yet on the Adria 🤞
Mine is left fitted on the end of the plug whenever it’s not in use. I assumed it’s a cap, and not an alignment tool. But then my van I retrofitted the 13 pin wiring so there’s no slot for the plug to sit in on the a frame.
Suspect they are meant to perform both functions, the fact there’s a rubber gasket inside makes me think original intention is as a cap, secondly to realign www.towingandtrailers.com/product/trailer-parts/trailer-electrics/13pin-plugs-and-sockets-2/replacement-green-cap-for-13pin-plug-2/
