As far as I know it is a case of unplugging the old twin socket and plugging in the single 13 pin socket. I believe it is a bit fiddly but can be done with the bumper in place. As for the diffrence, the new 13 pin is far superior in my opinion, just make sure the plug on the carvan is sprayed with silicon occasionally to ensure the collar turns freely. Thumbs Up

Hi Steve

It's a pretty simple job to remove the 2 7 pin sockets and re wire the cables into a single 13 pin.

I personally fitted a complete new rear loom as I tow with atc and wanted to ensure this was properly fed as adaptor leads can give some intermittent connection issues.

The new 13 pin arrangement is far superior.

Good luck with the collection !

update:
colled the coral from The Caravan Company in Leicester - great people to trade with would definitely recomend: did everything we wanted only small snagging prior to collection !
sat in it now in middles of a filed in lincoln after cleaning it would add pics if i knew how!

coral tows wonderfully with added suspension that the other older sterling dod not have!

I use the euro plugs on everything here now. Easy to connect, relyable and tidy. I keep a halfords adaptor in the boot just I case I pick up something with a 7 pin.
