Thread: Adaptor Plate for additional tow plugs 2xAnderson, 1xVideo

• I murdered the English language just then with errors...corrected on this reply.

  I've searched online for days but can't find any standard adaptor plate for D5's to fit the additional sockets required for large caravans; typically 1 x Grey Anderson for trailer DC-DC charge, 1 x Red Anderson for trailer ESC, 1 x Video feed for van rear camera.
  
  There have been some good examples here on AULRO of tucking these additional sockets in around the recess in the bumper, but wouldn't it be great if a bracket existed to install off the existing mount as for the 12pin? Any ideas or examples of a schmicko job?
  
  Cheers,
  Peter

Was hoping for some info but it seems no Disco 5's towing braked vans have any advice to share?

Just get an auto sparkie to do it. Osborne Autospark here in the west do a good one but they are not cheap and won't supply it to you unless they do the work. There is not really enough room for all of the stuff you want though. I have the 12 pin plug and one grey anderson plug, which pretty much fills up the space available. My caravan camera plug has been put in a different location due to the lack of room, especially to get fingers in there to connect it up. You could get a Dexter ESC to remove the red plug. It doesn't need additional plugs to connect to the car like the Alko version. I have seen one installation on here that has a red and grey anderson plug in that space, though.

I made up a bracket for mine that fits two andersons, but it’s very tight in there. I could not see how it would be possible to do the camera socket as well. Not with my fat fingers
