Towing harness

Doing it right would mean a $193 LR dealer harness which I would have to wait 7 business days to get. Not sure I am willing to fork over that dough. Scotch locks will get it home. Then I will take the time to do it right. Ideally I would like to find a complete harness out of a used or wrecked Disco. Not likely but that would be ideal.

No, there's no need for the factory adaptor. I have one on the shelf in the garage and don't consider them of good quality. That's why I removed it.
Did you read the link I provided? Done for around $30 and still works perfectly after 7 years. If all you need is a 4-way flat, then it can be done for even less as about 1/2 the expense was the large 7-way/4-way socket.

Looking at the connector on the trailer it's possible there are additional electrical accessories in the trailer (I would expect some interior lighting maybe runs off the tow vehicle battery which would need an additional circuit) and/or maybe they converted the lights to European wiring to eliminate the need for the adapter.
If you're going to be using this much, or for long trips, I would forget the flat connectors that dangle and install a quality 4-way round in the bumper.
Or 6-way round if you need the circuits.
They look a lot tidier, plus there's no worry about wire abrasion.
