Burstner Ixeo Time IT590 Sovereign 12v Power Socket? (1 Viewer)

[deleted79651]

There is a cigarette lighter style socket next to the 13 amp plug next to the TV Mounting, but it is too small anaperture to accept a standard cigarette socket. It looks to be about 13mm diameter measured to the outer edge of the black insert sleeve and between 9mm-11mm to the edges of the brass liner of the socket. Would this be the diameter of a Hella plug, perchance? The socket would be ideal for powering the water tank top ups [yesterday's query!] if I can get the right socket?

Tried phoning Electrical Stockists, and the best response I got was, 'Dunno; I can't measure the socket we supply, I'll need to ask Technical Support to measure it. An Engineer will call you back in 3 days ....' Seriously [I have the Enquiry Ref number to confirm that it wasn't a bad dream!]

Hella socket a bit smaller than 12v you can get an adaptor see below or I removed mine and fitted a 12v socket in my old van.

Yep.... That's a Hella.
Far superior to a fag lighter socket.
Positive click lock so won't vibrate out and overheat like a fag lighter socket.
Plugs are a doddle to fit having screws instead of soldered.

Just found the socket and ordered online from Altec Automotive for 2-3 days standard delivery. Staring price was £1.95 but the addition of VAT and the delivery charges took the total to £8.33! The place I rang with an Engineer to call me back [looks same product] started at £8.66 plus VAT, so I'm still ahead of the game and should get the plug quicker!

I can also get the cable bought now and have everything ready for the next excursion [famous last words ].

This has turned into one of those jobs that starts with 'We're quite happy with Brunhilde' but quickly progresses to, 'That's a better way of doing it', via 'Oh, bugger, nobody's got any in stock ...' and back again. By the time it's all done, i could have fetched lots of water from a site tap!

Thanks for all the help with the ID of what is described on Supplier Websites as 'Hella CBE style 12v Plugs and Sockets'. I'll leave this posted to help the next Funster looking for these damn things with the search term!

Buy two just in case.

All the habitation 12v sockets in our Burstner are Hella so I bought a couple of multi (cigarette) socket bars that also have two USB sockets built in so that we are well equipped to charge phones, tablets &c.

Too late, I'm afraid; the order is being processed! I did have the same thought about 5minutes after placing the order, but then wandered through to the spare room where all the rest of Mr Justin Case's earlier purchases of trailer tent, folding caravan, touring caravan etc reside ... Sun Canopy [unused] for Raclet Solena Trailer Tent, Thule Ranger Soft Box [used about 3 times] for the Solena Roof Rack, Spare KockeyWheel for the Gobur Folding Caravan, 2 pairs of Fiamma Levelling Blocks, etc etc. And other stuff that I can see but cannot reach yet!

WOW! A trailer tent, folding caravan and a touring caravan all in the spare room.... That's one big house you live in.

Touché Well, that's 6 births for starters, so I'd better audition for 'Call the Midwife' ... Or perhaps not

I should just have typed 'purchases for a TT etc! I failed the interview for the Proof Reading vacancy, can't think why ...

I forgot to say that I changed the lighter plug on the bars to a Hella one.
