Yep, 13 pin is definitely the way to go - it looks much neater (I know because they originally fitted 2 * 7 pin sockets by mistake!), Also you dont have a white cap(second socket) so it makes it much more discrete.
I also have a small garden trailer which I use for trips to the dump and use an adpater. You can get them on ebay or your local caravan shop/trailer shop will also have them.

ONE WORK OF WARNING THOUGH......When you do get your caravan, if it has the alko hitch stabilizer built in to the hitch(all modern ones do) you MUST clean the towball after using it with the garden trailer. If not, you will contaminate the friction pads on the hitch with grease and need to get new ones. NOt expensive, just a pain in the neck. I was recommended to use Brake disc/pad cleaning fluid for this.

You will love the SD4 - it makes a great car....and towcar

Although CG would probably feel differently if you were transporting Chickens to shops in a trailer on the back of the FL2. Just imagine how many checkien would fit into a caravan.
