Hi all

there must be a simple reason for this but it's not in the handbook.

one has a white shroud and one has a black shroud. the white one has one more male pin that the black one.

the one with the white cap is the power supply socket thats commonly used in europe for supplying power to/charging batteries in caravans

the punchline to it is that the plugs are vitually impossible to get in australia

Hi Sprint,

The white plug(the opposite end) can be purchased from any dealer in Australia.

The black plug is what is used Australia wide (commonly known as a 7 pin round). Any trailer manufacturer will wire to this plug in accordance to Australian road laws.
