12 volt plug

[mpdcymru]

Can anyone tell me what type of 12 volt plug do I need for a 2020 Detleffs Trend? Thanks in advance

Could be one of three common ones.
Cig socket plug, a DIN/HELLA plug or a dedicated two pin plug.

A pic of the socket will decide.

German vans mostly use the Hella / Din plugs.
Standard size cigarette sockets are inside the Fiat cab.

Hymer changed from Hella to the standard Cigar lighter sockets quite a few years ago. A backward step IMO.

Dethleffs use the Hella plug in the habitation area

this is a photo of the 12 volt socket. I have a Hella plug which is too big for the socket as is the normal cigarette lighter type

Looks like a hella socket to me? But is the CBE 12v socket different and the reason your current plugs dont fit?

CBE 12V socket

Change the plug on the TV lead, don't bother with an adaptor as the sockets on them are very poor quality.

It does look similar but mine is labelled as 120 W whereas the one in your plastic is labelled 10A. I know exceedingly little about electrics!

OP says Hella and car 12v plugs dont fit. CBE socket - are they different again?

Yes, I did consider this but I still need to know which plug fits it

That's the problem I think Lenny, the OP doesn't know what the socket is to buy the correct plug.

OP beat me to it.

That is what was in my brand new 2018 &. 2019 deathless MoH’s

on all 12v sockets

Has your Hella plug still got the pull off adaptor on the end?
It allows Hella to fit a cig lighter socket.

The red bit pulls off

Papajohn, this is my hella adapter, it does not have a red pull off adapter

That is a Hella plug it will plug straight in, the one John referred to fits a standard cigar socket with the red bit on & a hella without it.

Thanks Lenny (and others) I was just being too gentle with the plau - it just required a bit more wight behind it!

Take care fitting the plug as it can short out and cause the fuse to blow, I speak from experience!
There was not enough light to see the socket clearly in the evening light when we wished to watch TV.
