Get the right power and trailer connection between your vehicle, caravan, camper trailer or work trailer. We professionally install Anderson plugs and 7-pin or 12-pin trailer connections individually or as one complete towing package designed around your vehicle and trailer requirements.
Most caravan and camper-trailer setups require more than one connection. We can install the Anderson plug and trailer plug together as a complete package, or complete either service individually when that is all your setup requires.
Each connection has a different role. Many caravan and camper-trailer setups use more than one.

Why Plan the Connections as One System?The trailer plug and Anderson plug perform different jobs. Planning them together allows cable size, current demand, switching, brake-control wiring, fuse protection and trailer requirements to be considered as one complete towing system.
With our Anderson and trailer-plug installations, you’ll get:
The correct connection combination for your vehicle and trailer
Cable sized for the required current and installation length
Suitable fusing, circuit protection and switching
Protected wiring and weather-resistant rear connections
System testing and a practical handover before you leave
Not Sure Which Connections Your Trailer Needs? We’ll Work It Out.
You do not need to select cable sizes or understand every trailer circuit before requesting a quote. Tell us what you drive, what you tow and what equipment is fitted, and we’ll assess the appropriate connection setup.
Before installation, we’ll confirm:
Your vehicle and trailer connection requirements
Whether a 7-pin or 12-pin trailer plug is appropriate
What the Anderson plug needs to power
Any battery, DC–DC charger, fridge or ESC requirements
Many caravans and camper trailers use both. The trailer plug handles the standard towing circuits, while the Anderson connection supplies the heavier 12V power required by compatible charging systems and accessories. We will confirm what your particular trailer requires.
A 7-pin connection generally covers the standard trailer lighting and compatible brake-control circuits. A 12-pin connection provides additional pins that may be used for fridge, auxiliary or other caravan circuits when wired for that purpose.
An Anderson plug provides a robust high-current 12V connection between the tow vehicle and compatible trailer equipment. Common uses include supplying a trailer-mounted DC–DC charger, auxiliary battery system, fridge circuit or other approved equipment.
Yes. We can assess the existing plug and wiring, then determine whether the socket can be changed directly or whether additional wiring is required for the extra circuits you need.
If the trailer has electric brakes, a compatible brake controller may be required. The trailer plug carries the relevant brake signal, but the brake controller is a separate part of the vehicle’s towing system. We can assess and install both services together.
A red Anderson-style connection is commonly used as a dedicated supply for certain compatible caravan electronic stability-control systems. The connection must be matched and wired according to the trailer equipment manufacturer’s requirements.
The Anderson plug supplies power to the trailer system, but the actual charging rate is controlled by the installed DC–DC charger, battery system and available vehicle supply. We assess the complete system rather than treating the plug alone as the charger.
Yes, provided the equipment is complete, compatible and suitable for a safe installation. We inspect customer-supplied plugs, cable and related components before confirming the final scope and price.
Supplied equipment is covered by the relevant manufacturer warranty, and our installation workmanship is backed by our workmanship guarantee. Warranty coverage for customer-supplied products remains with the original retailer or manufacturer.
