That's the catch. I'm not an engineer but there must be a way???

The way is to have American style electric brakes which work off a potentiometer linked to brake pedal position.
A much better alternative, which used to be available for LR Defender to extend towing capacity to 4 tons, is to fit air brakes.

Mine came with a 13 pin plug and an adaptor down to 7.
2 of the pins were loose in the adaptor causing all sorts of trouble so I ripped the plug off and fitted a 7 pin

Should have changed your adapter. The 13 pin plugs are far more reliable and they are the future. It's not like it is something 'new' now either.

 

[Cowabunga]

With electric brake application there is obviously the need for actuators on the trailer itself. That's a whole other kettle of fish.

Agreed. I have adaptors for conversion both ways as I borrow my neighbour's tipping trailer sometimes. One day I shall standardise on all 13 pins so I get fog lights, reversing lights etc

13 pin also locks in to the connector much better.

Also with the 13 pin plug, it will charge the battery needed for the Edwards Power deck

Our IWT lives outside & every time we use it,we have to shake/drain the light socket(13pin adapted down to7 because landrover dont do 13 pin)because its full of water

Pretty sure that LR have had 13 pin electrics available for a good few years.
As for the male trailer end, you can actually park it underneath the body, in the relative dry. The coil is rather springy but it can be made to stow in the dry if you try.

I think Landrover offer a 13 pin option too,
But we can sell you a plug holder keeping your plug the right way up or even a 7 pin suzi to fit a Ifor William

thought they looked more like a alloy sheep hurdle , expensive ?

We do sell alloy hurdles which fasten onto our loading gates
