Could you post a pic of the connector. That way other people who don't have a 2006 Abbey might be able to help.

Think you missed the point, clanjones. The original poster wanted a plug that would fit the socket on his van, not to fit a socket.

Maybe if we had a sketch or even a description of the socket we could help. Have you asked your dealer?

does it look like one of these?
looking at the plug, not the socket on the end.


or



if so, they should be availiable at any caravn accessory place, although towsue dont seem to have them seperate on their website!
the second one wth the flat pins is the more comon 12V plug
