13pin adapters

Welcome.

Why not rewire your caravan to a 13 pin plug? It's not difficult and cuts out the need for a further connection.

Btw, if you go to your profile you can choose a user name of your own.

There are 2 variations. 1 to allow a 13 pin car to connect to a 12N/12S caravan and the other a 12N/12S car to a 13 pin caravan. The single plug type adapters are just to provide lighting to the trailer .... again 2 types depending on where the 12N & 13 pin is

Years ago we used the one with the short twin leads which was a pain trying to stop it dangling down but I see  there is a 13 pin plug to twin 7 pin sockets adaptor  which looks much better 

As Tinwheeler suggested, the best and most reliable way is to rewire the the caravans plugs into one 13 pin plug.

As above. Re-wire the caravan to 13 pin. You will not regret it.

I understood that to do as suggested (a rewire) is not quite that simple as the wiring for 7pin plugs is at a bigger size than the modern 13 pin plug wires so plug may not take them

Bungy straps will keep adaptor wires out of harms way

No need for bungee straps, bits of string, or dangling cables if one gets the compact style of adaptor that locks into the 13 pin socket and has the two 7 pin sockets straight on the back.

A rewire done properly replaces the two plugs and their cables with a new cable and plug from the main lighting junction box. I have looked at doing this on my current caravan but it seems that Bailey start with that junction box and build the rest of the caravan on top of it!

Dont agree, to much hassle, i have an Erich Jaeger made in Germany, connector, fits perfectly on to my tow bar, Kia tow bar, 13 pin connector and provides 2x7 pin outlets fitted 5 years ago works perfectly never take it off I think approx £15 on the web push on pull down the locking lever job done

Having rewired a 13 pin plug after I damaged it, I would agree getting two 7 pin cables in and sealed would be very difficult. Unless they make a specifically designed plug. Much easier would be to put a junction box under or in the van and come out of there with 13 pin wiring. 
I’ve not use one but if using an adapter, I would go for the compact version with no lead. I managed to drag our lead type along the road despite best efforts.☹️
