Hi there !!
I'm starting the repairs of my "new" folding camper and I want to check the wiring diagram for the lights. This is the scheme that I do (trailer socket - trailer lights scheme) but I dont know if it is correct or not, so comments are welcome... ![]() Some questions: 1.- What is the difference between pins 5 and 7, both appears as 12V directly from the battery passing through the Lighting control. That means that I need to have my lights on to have 12V supply in the camper from the car? 2.- As far as can see there is not a pin for the reverse lights �why? In our case fog lights are not required but reverse ligths should be necessary. Thanks in advance for the help Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo" ![]() Click image to enlarge |

there are three types of plugs/sockets for trailers
12N Is the normal one for towing pin Use 1 Nearside indicator 2 Rear Fog 3 Earth 4 Offside indicator 5 offside tail light 6 Stop 7 Nearside tail light and number plate There is no reversing light 12S Is the normal one for power supply to a caravan (supplements the use of 12N) pin Use 1 Reversing light 2 Caravan Battery 3 Earth 4 12v power 5 not used 6 refrigerator 7 not used It is normal to have two sockets/plugs for caravanning 12N (black) and 12S (Grey) However there is now a new 13pin single socket as follows: in Use 1 Nearside indicator 2 Rear Fog 3 Earth for pins 1-8 4 Offside indicator 5 offside tail light 6 Stop 7 Nearside tail light and number plate 8 Reversing light 9 Caravan Battery or interior lights (perm supply) 10 refrigerator (Ignition controlled supply) 11 Earth for pin 10 12 sensing device 13 Earth for pin 9 Does that help?
