BOROCO 7 to 13 pin trailer plug adapter
When you’re towing a caravan or trailer, the last thing you want is faffing about with sockets that don’t match. This BOROCO adapter turns a standard 7‑pin car socket into a 13‑pin female connector, so most European trailer electrics plug straight in. It’s a simple, practical bit of kit that does exactly what it says on the tin — no drama, no faff.
What it does and why it helps
These days a lot of caravans and trailers use a 13‑pin connector, while many cars still have the older 7‑pin socket. Rather than swapping sockets or redoing wiring, this adapter bridges the gap so your lights, indicators and other 12V functions work as they should when towing. That means no last‑minute panic at the campsite or by the side of the road.

- Simple to use: just plug in – no special wiring skills needed.
- Compact, unobtrusive design that sits neatly on the towbar socket without looking bulky.

Easy to fit and use
Fitting is dead simple: push the adapter into the vehicle’s 7‑pin socket, then plug the trailer’s 13‑pin connector into the adapter. Keep it in the boot for occasional towing or leave it connected if you tow more often. If you’re unsure about compatibility, have a quick check of both plugs before buying — it saves awkward moments at the gate.
