Personally if I was having a tow bar fitted for caravaning I would go for the single 13 pin connector, as the connection is more secure than the old 7 pin type, if your caravan is running two 7 pin plugs it's a simple job to replace those with a single 13 pin plug, or you can simply use an adapter, twin 7 pin sockets to 13 pin plug.
Also on modern cars, especially if still in warranty, you need to be thinking about having the dedicated wiring system fitted, this will interface with you cars on board management system, and integrates the car alarm to the electrical socket. And also involves having the electrics coded to the tow vehicle.
This will negate any future warranties issue should a fault develop with the car,.
The cheaper electrical systems use a bypass system, whilst lashing into the cars wiring.
They of course work, but why have such a system fitted, when the real deal is available, the firm I use for having tow bars fitted, now refuses to fit the bypass systems, due to some car dealers using them as an excuse to riggle out of warranty disputes.
The coded wiring systems typicaly add £150 to the fit, over and above that of a bypass system.
