was looking for joints, but nothing really obvious came past
I think think the joints are pretty invisible
It's interesting to watch it be done

reply from the same post on twitter " the pipe was extruded onsite as Tubi specializes in a mobile extrusion plant, but the pipe sections still needed to be moved a bit up the jobsite. "Was a feeble attempt at humour

Looking at that data... 57% of prohibitions were for 'lamps'- and the fault is just as likely to be the towing vehicle there!!looks that way ..... WTF would qualify for " seat belts? " FFS

Don't complain - suggest what's better
No surprise the main problem was lamps. Trailer wiring is rubbish, particularly on Ifor Williams. I don’t understand why there are so many problems, but the wiring only seems to last a couple of years before starting to give issues. 13 pin plugs seem better than the old 7 pin type, but still I usually end up having trailers completely re wired after three years. I would happily pay a bit more for the trailer to have quality wiring that lasted.

Especially when the quality components are there. Lorry trailer wiring is so much better quality. Proper sealed components. 12v trailer wiring may aswell be housed in cardboard boxes

Just going off eBay 24v trailer plugs and sockets are actually coming up at the same price as 12v. Which makes it even worse

They are all the same units now led 12v/24v units.
And the led light units seem pretty good tbh. It always seems to be the plug, socket or any joint.
Almost always due to water ingress

Only problems I have are those wanky 7 to 13 pin adaptors.
Every issue comes back to them.
I've got a mixture of 13pin and 7 pin trailers and 13pin and 7 pin vehicles. And every single issue is the adaptor

Those stubby ones are junk. I have one that is a socket 6in of cable and a plug. And has so far lasted 2years. As opposed to a few weeks on the stubby inserts
