Im in the penman club!!

Evening all,

Picked up a tidy penman today... bit overkill for camping etc but you know the score theres always landy bits to be picked up, o and the dutchess wants the garden done.

Anyway if anyone requires info or photos etc fire away and ill get some photos across.

While were here whats the best way to convert it to 12v? New 7pin and cable to the junction box with 12v bulbs??

Regards tom

Welcome to the club.

Whilst overbuilt they tow lovely, have a stainless tub that doesn't rust and the Autoreverse brakes are a god send for those of us who have used previous narrow and widetrack "Sankey" trailers in the past.

https://www.defender2.net/forum/post493573.html on this thread black wolf gives the right info on the NATO plug pin outs and all you do is undo the plug and one at a time swap the wires over a tradition 7pin. or at least a pen and tape to mark which is which before cutting them / unsolder off the NATO.

The bulbs are easy to change using Le Peri light units with the separate bulb holder.

The number plates are the same as defender with a '233' bulb.
The Fog and indicators are traditional 382 12V 21W bulbs
The stop tails are standard 380 12V 21 / 5W
The front markers are capless 501 bulbs.
The convoy doesn't matter and I simply didn't wire it in.

Thanks for the replies guys!!

Devon-rover thank you for the info mate much appreciated, i searched hi and low on google to no avail! Didn’t think of checking here. When the rain stops il look into converting it to 12v.

See I know theyre a bit of a lump but for the money i dont think you can match them spec wise with anything else.

Our old mans got one of those portafloat halfords type and he paid a tidy sum by the time he added a spare wheel etc.

Anyway like i said if anyones after dimensions etc or pics just let me know.

Regards tom

Greeni you got any more info. For £600 or there about's, While I don't need another that's a price not to be sniffed at.

I'd be interested to know the price from Hamptons (but not interested enough to ask them). If anyone finds out, please could they post here?
