  • Upgrade std Toyo 7 pin trailer plug.

    OK, so this week sees a few things in the wind for me.
    We are camping on the Gold Coast. OK, so Glamping more the word..
    We hired a Jayco Expanda and one thing I noticed is the standard trailer plug on the Jayco is different to the Prado.
    The Prado has the OEM 7 pin plug, the Jayco has a larger 12pin unit.
    My question is, is it possible to install one of the 12 pin units on the back of the Prado?
    This will give me a few other things I've been looking for, namely the magic pin to allow running fridge in camper whilst driving.
    We plan on purchasing a camper soon, so want this sorted soon.

    The other thing it has shown me is, I should have listened to all here who suggested when installing the Tekonsha P3, that I run the brake wire to the rear, as opposed to the brake switch on the pedal. If not for the override brakes on the Expanda, could have been a LOOONG trip up. They are not perfect, but still help out alot...

      Yeah, spotted those in SuperCheap today, but I need to make sure I get the power to run a fridge in the camper while driving. I have read this is only possible via the 12 pin plug.. Not sure how that would work with an adapter..

        On my previous 90s prado i ran a 12 pin flat on my prado and jayco camper, with the 7smaller pins on top which are the trailer lights and brake and 5 large pins on bottom which is only used for the 2 power feed wires from battery isolator,there is a switch at isolator so i could either direct charge camper battery instead of 2nd underbonnet battery or take power from 2nd battery to run camper. Have fitted the same to 120s but haven't got round to running charging wires yet but will do the same. You may have make up your own adapter if required as the 12pin to 7pin aren't easy to find, which is what i have done so a friend can borrow the camper. I think you will find the expanda has electric brakes so will require the brake controller ,which i sure you will find wire instructions he on PP. The fridge in the jayco aren't the best for 12v on the move cooling we always supplement it with the engel fridge

            Just get a towbar place to fit one if your not keen on doing it. Jayco's have the fridge hotwired in as well as you will have electric brakes if it's a decent size van. The top row of the 12 pin has standard 7 pin flat connections and you can then use any 7 pin flat to work your other trailers. The bottom row has larger pins and wires to accommodate the fridge etc.
            Just make sure you have an isolator installed for the power or you will end up with a flat battery if the van is plugged in and car not running.
