Your local auto parts place should have trailer light connectors.

Warning: some generic connector packaging won't state the wire gauge.
I went through this with my headlight upgrade to H4. I ended up
salvaging OEM locking connectors (they lock into connector housing)
from headlight plugs on an old Vanagon harness then soldered/crimped
them onto new #14 wires. Anyhow....

I installed a trailer light connector in my '81 Westy kitchen. IIRC it
was for extra fridge fans etc.

As long as the wire gauge is the same or larger, you're good to go!

I’m making up a new wiring harness for the fridge and water tank, etc.  It’s not a big deal, but without the correct connectors it’s not the real thing.  So, here I am asking those who know; where would I be able to find those connectors that apply here.  Or others for that matter.
