I don’t know if anyone else has this issue, but the 13 pin electric socket on my car is hidden away out of sight under the rear bumper. It’s a detachable tow bar so I guess that’s the idea

My current way of comfortably connecting this to the caravan, is to lay down on a yoga mat so I can connect the plug without getting gravel rash!

I’ve seen some long extensions leads you can buy, but basically I want something that I can leave plugged in for the season, sort of around 6 inch long hanging down (i have a Range Rover so fairly high) so I can easily just plug the caravan in without practising yoga!!

Any ideas, preferably not involving making it myself?

I have the same issue with a Volvo. This company made me a short extension in 24 hours. Works a treat.

Thanks for all the ideas and replies guys they are all very helpful and pointed me in the right direction.

Getting the electrician to modify it was probably the best solution but I needed it quickly 

Ive ordered this one, simply because although its 2m its coiled up which means it’s shouldn’t be to long and I can zip tie any extra length up and out if the way somewhere behind the bumper and then probably zip tie the connector end underneath/at the side if the tow bar so I can easily connect it up  Oh the joy!! Lol   Its amazing what you can do with zip ties!

We are new to modern caravanning and it’s something that never occurred to me, but we’re starting to move site every few days and the thought of scrambling around under the car every time…..

 That cable does not look thick enough to be the correct specification bearing in mind that at least five cores (3-9-10-11 and 13) should be 2.5mm².
