Thread: Disco 4 round plug to Anderson plug adapter + brake controller

I don't know if there is such an adapter. However it would be very easy to make one.

DISCO3.CO.UK - Shop

They will make up a plug with whatever end you want.

I had an Anderson to 12S off the switched supply. It’s fused also (I think).

Tekonsha P3 brake controller

TEKONSHA P3 PRODIGY CARAVAN TRAILER ELECTRIC BRAKE CONT

Also check Ebay.

I've had this in my D4 now for over 5 years with no issues.

Any auto electrician should be able to make a round to Anderson.

Add my vote for the Tekonsha - neat bit of kit.

I have had a P3 for several years. Great bit of kit.
The Redarc Towpro takes up less real estate, but I’m unsure how good they are.

Have you considered replacing the large round Utilux power socket with an Anderson plug/socket?
No need to worry about adapter leads then.

I have a flat pin plug for operating the trailer plus a separate Anderson plug for charging it's batteries.

From my own recent hard learnt experience that size cable from the large round will not top up your batteries at all. I think that’s what you said you wanted it for. It may run led lights etc. Perhaps bite the bullet and have a dedicated Anderson plug at the rear. Fairly uncomplicated install. I ran just one big positive from battery and a big short ground to a earth screw shared by the spare tyre winch and it works perfect. Even reasonable size cable is pretty useless. Use BiG cable (5mm ID) and fuse it. No need for dc dc charger then either. I know that’s not what you asked but I don’t think what you want to do will work as you hope.

Good luck Steve
