I have a car and caravan both with 13 pin so that works well.

I also have a small trailer and a boat trailer both of which have 7 pin 12n plug on a light board. I have a very small and neat adaptor for this which can live in the 13 pin car socket or on the light board plug.

I would say the 13 pin socket and plug are far superior to the old 7 pin kit and converting would be a good way to go rather than spend good money on the old systems.

I use an adapter, have used it for several years now. No problems.

Ray, (bit of a post hijack) just fitted my cameras to the van and wired them into the fridge circuit, they work a treat. Video cables come through back of car to connectors at front near camera mounted on dashboard. Sorry OP for the hijack

Sorry OP for the hijack
Hi Kenny
Thanks for that. I was thinking of a direct feed via the old 12n if i fitted a 13pin plug.
Got to do a bit more digging on the disco wiring at the rear.
I know the sat nav screen in the SE, will take the camera direct.
