Trailer Wiring Harness
Just when you thought we had beat this dead horse as much as possible I bring it back to life for more beating. Sorry.
My question is does anyone know of a kit for my D1 that goes directly from the factory plug behind the tail light to a 7-round RV style plug? I am trying to avoiding installing the 4-flat plug and adapting it the 7-round. Adapters mean more potential problem points. I have a trailer that has brakes on both axles so I will also be installing a brake controller and a charge line for the trailer battery and interior lights.
I have been looking all over the net and haven't found anything but the 4-flat kit yet.

Rover Connection has a kit. http://roverconnection.com/
It is a Hella European 7 pin. Looks like round pins, but if flat is easily replaced by swapping the socketwith a round pin unit.
Here is a better view, for more money: http://landroverparts.us/LandRoverAc...erTrailer.html

It's impossible to have a plug in flat 7 connector to LR. the wires just aren't there. I have a flat5 for towing my boat with surge brakes. I tapped the lines behind the taillight to a hoppy converter, and then tapped the rr reverse light for the blue wire. To do a 7flat, you would need to do the same, plus a 12v to the battery, and a line for a brake controller to the dash area, if you used a controller.

RE: Trailer Wiring Harness
Has anyone actually ordered anything from Rover Connection. It seems like they have some good deals and some very hard to find items (like the sunroof shade clip that I need). The website seems a little undeveloped, and the ordering system is very out of date.

RE: Trailer Wiring Harness
I haven't ordered from them because the ordering system is so outdated. I want simple and quick and Roverconnection doesn't meet that requirement. Guess I just haven't got to the point where I have to have something that I can only get through them.

You can't just do that, the wiring of the european 7pin and an american 7pin is completely different. European doesn't have provisions for reverse, brake control or accessory 12v. European 7 pin also uses separate brake and turn signals, unlike the american combo standard light. Euro has a rear fog wire also. It's all detailed in RAVE.

RE: Trailer Wiring Harness
I find it hard to believe that the "european" plug wouldn't have a pin for the signal from a brake controller considering even in Europe they use trailer brakes and controllers. Without brakes the Rover is only rated for about 1500 trailer load, don't remember the exact figure at the moment.
Pin1: FOG LIGHTS
Pin2: EARTH
Pin3: RH DIRECTION INDICATORS/HAZARDS
Pin4: RH TAIL LIGHT
Pin5: BRAKE LIGHT
Pin6: LH DIRECTION INDICATORS/HAZARDS
Pin7: NO PLATE/ LH TAIL LIGHT
It's not that a Standard US 7 Pin RV socket can't be wired up, It's just that there is no plug and play solution, It's going to involve tapping some wires not in the factory trailer wiring.
btw is that pin out for a D1 and DII?
