Hello Plamen, thanks for reaching out. We can provide a ball mount and 50mm hitch ball, but we don't offer any 13-pin European sockets. That said, for the hitch ball and ball mount I recommend the following:
- Curt Dual Length Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2-3/8" Rise, 3-5/8" Drop - 7,500 lbs # C45230
- 50mm Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 8K # EH53C-C
All of the trailer wiring we carry is the North American standard 7-way or 4-flat, so if you need a European-style connector, I'd suggest checking with a retailer based in Europe.
Where in Europe are you excited to tow your caravan first?

Thank you, Jesse, It's my first caravan and I have no experience whatsoever with towing. The idea is to make short trips with a mini caravan to Greece and Turkia and longer ones to Western Europe. My Subaru Forrster is US version and it differs from EU verson, so I need US hitch receiver even though it should be certified by EU standard.
