Towing Civvy Trailer with Militay Vehicle

[stivvy]

hi all,

 

i am looking for a 12pin Nato Plug to make an adapter to wire up the lights on a civvy standard trailer (dont know the proper name)

 

i was also told that a ready made adapter is available, anyone knows who sells them?

 

thanks

civvy standard trailer

 

If there is such an adaptor Chris be aware that there are now two types in use 7-pin (ISO 1724) and 13-pin (ISO 11446)

 

But if you make one the NATO connections are here:

I cheated on this - I fitted a civvy 12N socket and tucked it up alongside the chassis rail on the Landie so it cannot be seen unless you look for it. So I have the NATO socket for use with Sankeys etc and the civvy 12N with a light board (using 24v bulbs of course) for anything else.

this is a little bit complicated because i just bought a sankey but the lights dont work so the owner fitted additional lights with the 7 pin connector so i just need a solution just to collect the trailer.

 

once the lights are repaired i will no longer need the 7pin system
