Electric kits for tow bars
You’ll need an electric kit to connect the system in your vehicle to the system in your caravan, trailer or bike rack. At Halfords, we fit dedicated (or ‘vehicle-specific’) 7 or 13 pin electric kits.
Dedicated kits
Dedicated electric kits are designed to sync with the specific safety features in your particular make and model of vehicle. As modern vehicles typically have complex internal wiring systems, we believe dedicated wiring kits are the best option to ensure all the safety features continue to function as normal when towing.
7 pin electrics
7 pin electrics are the most common and most cost-effective connector type available on the market. They can be used with bike racks, lighting boards, trailers, older caravans and more, although you can’t use them to power appliances inside a caravan.
13 pin electrics
13 pin electrics are a more modern type of socket and can be used to power lights on a bike rack, trailer or caravan, as well as appliances inside a caravan. In fact, most modern caravans will come with a 13 pin connector as standard.
