Either use Scotch Blocks or a terminal block, both available from a harware shop, strip back the wires and rejoin colour to colour. If the wire is in a position where it might move, support the join with a water proof tape. It wont look pretty, but the problem will be solved. If you have a soldering iron, or know someone who has, then this would be better still.

Just purhase a length of the correct colured cable, either Black or Grey from the caravan dealers or auto electricians & replace the frayed length.  I see someone has kindly posted the plug colour chart, I'll save that one for future fraying.

This happened to us one just after we had our first caravan & it was no problem to replace. I would suggest that you buy a longer piece than you think you want & then ut it with care, I made ours just a little bit too short by thinking I'd got it right & like everything else in life, once you cut it off it's off.

This is the tape you want , it bonds to it's self and can be stretched .
