rogerrichards Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Just bought my first MC, a Hymer B544 1993, and found that, what I thought were standard 12v cigarette lighter sockets, were not the same size - quite a bit smaller. Is this a standard 12v socket on MHs? If so can someone point me in the direction of somewhere I can buy the plugs (and what I should ask for). I cant seem to find any info on the net. Thanks Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Roger, These are most likely to be "Continental" power output sockets, we had similar ones in our Merc. I changed ours but no doubt the MH outlet who sell that brand will have some suitable plugs in the accessory shop. i.e. Ring Brownhills for your first quote or try a Mercedes garage.

Mel B Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Roger and welcome to the mad house! I've had a quick shuftie on eBay and have come up with item numbers: 270101613899 330103729861 These are the smaller Hella type of plugs - we had a loan Rapido once and thought it was the standard cigarette lighter but when we tried to use it realised it was the smaller one, it's just a continental type of plus as opposed to the UK cigarette one, nothing particularly special about it. We got ours from Brownhills so you should be able to get them from normal dealerships I should think. These are also fitted to a lot of trucks so you could also try to get one that way but make sure you get the 12v version. I've just done a quick search and www.roadking.co.uk do them.

Brian Kirby Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I think you'll find they are 12V DIN sockets. If all else fails, if you can get to a small boat chandlers, you should find they sell them. The plugs are a much more positive fit into the sockets than cigarette lighter type plugs.

rogerrichards Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Brilliant, thanks for all the info - and so quickly as well. I ordered a couple from Ebay so I should get my TV up and running in the next few days :-> It's a steep learning curve as I have no handbook ad it's my first motorhome. Thanks again Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
