Hi all - when out and about in Scotland while not towing - I carry a hybrid compressor/12v fridge in my pickup bed. It needs plugging into a 12v cigar lighter style socket for power (the compressor operation is 240v)
I cannot install a 12v socket into the bed of the pickup or extend from the front - as it is used for dangerous goods.
My thought was to make up a cable to go from the 13 pin towing electrics socket - and put a 12v power socket on the other end, like a 12 volt extension cable taking power from the towing electrics. There is a big enough gap to feed this into the bed to the fridge.
If feasible - I would of course need a 13 pin plug, a 12v socket, and relevent cable to go between the 2.
What would I need to connect inside the 13 pin plug to make this work?
Regards
Gerry
