12 pin caravan plug

Had never considered that Eagle but a simple way to fix them is to run a Stanley Trimmer blade down the split in the pin, this spreads them apart again.

Yep, but not for long as the pins have already lost their tensile strength.

OK i have the same problem with my 12 pin every thing works except the fridge sometimes.
Whats the best way to disconnect plug?Ive always wiggled side to side on the old 7 pin never any trouble.

Micheal, if you have the strength pull it straight out, otherwise move it up and down as that doesn't squeeze the pin slots together.

Thanks 9900 Eagle. I will try that next time .

Cheers

What about a large round 7 pin. I have the same problem and the pins have two slots so whichever way you jiggle it, the pins will be affected.

Maybe change to a 12 pin flat?

Victorian plated caravan and tow vehicle ? they only one who legislate a large round pin setup. rest are flat or small round, apart from heavy vehicles.

why anybody would try use 12 pin for every contact allowing for voltage drop to auxiliary battery to caravan etc is beyond me. as you mentioned anderson plug is best method.

Do find dust gets into plugs all time despite blanking off when not using anderson or trailer plug but squirt of electrical contact cleaner helps alot

NSW Rego, but built in Vic!

The builder was very insistent about the use of the Large Round. I had used the flat 7 for years but the pins were always getting pinched in and obviously overheating on the brake pins. Best move ever to use the round! Got a wireless breakaway indicator so no wiring needed for that.
