just buy the adaptor and leave the electrics alone. i would think it damn akward to fit the two side by side, may throw up all sorts of problems. the best man to talk to is mike alder.

I agree with Lyron, just use the adapter and leave your electrics alone. By using the adapter, you will have all the lights required and be missing only the power to the fridge and reversing lights (if the caravan has them). I caravanned for years just using the 7n socket and never missed having the fridge, and even today rarely bother using the full adapter with my 13 pin socket, I just use the black plug in a 13/7 adapter and tie the white plug out of the way.
