Video Transcript for Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring HM47044 Review
Today we'll be reviewing Part Number HM-47044. This is the Hopkins Nite Glow Tow Bar Extension Cord with Socket. It is a coiled cord. It's going to connect a 7-way RV to a 4-way round, and when fully extended this cord is going to be 8 feet in length. This kit is going to let you easily run power from your RV to your towed vehicle. The adapter cord connects to the 7-way blade-style connector on your RV, and to the 4-way round connector that mounts on your towed vehicle.
A 4-way round socket wires into the towed car, it has a nice mount with the included bracket and hardware. Nite Glow plugs light up when tail lights on the RV are activated. This is going to confirm the continuity of tail light circuits. It's also going to let you find your electrical connections when you're in low-light conditions. The coiled cable is going to stretch to fit your needs, and it's also going to keep your wire from dragging on the ground. The plugs here are nice, easy to grip heavy-duty plug, and again the cable when fully extended is 8 feet in length, and it's about 5/16's of an inch in diameter.

I'am in the process of setting up my 2017 Equinox to tow behind our motorhome. I've placed 4-orders with etrailer. So far I've installed the base plate, the wiring from the rear tail lights to the front end.I also received my Tow bar and the quick release parts. my next project is to install the invisi brake system. I want to send Kudos to Cathy T for her help and her great customer service. I'am also thanking James A for his quick response to a question about the wiring harness. I'am extremely happy with the quality of everything I ordered at etrailer. Thanks 421654

This item was a replacement for the Roadmaster that was out of stock. It was less expensive and seems to work just fine connecting the toad and mh. At this point I am very satisfied with the service and the product. 180933

Review from a similar Hopkins Nite-Glow in Accessories and Parts
Reasonably priced and shipped fast. Although the harness techically is long enough the coils are a little stiff and that concerns me. I streached the coils a bit to relieve some of the stiffness and it seem to have improved it some. However the connectors on both the RV and the toad have spring loaded catches on the plug so I don't expect that to be a problem. The only improvement I could suggest is to include a wiring diagram and a pin lable guide with the 6 pin connector which was included with the cable. Only two of the terminals are clearly labled (LT & Gnd) while another is labled TM, which I later found out was for the running lights. The other terminals are not even labled on the plug. With a little searching on the internet a diagram is available, however, I believe a standard wiring diagram should have been included which shows a clear picture of the connections. A small thing that would cost very little in the packaging and would be a great improvement. The reson for the 3 star rating. A more flexible cable and a diagram would have received 5 stars. 566539

Review from a similar Hopkins Nite-Glow in Accessories and Parts
Very happy with etrailer for the purchase of a Blue Ox tow bar with needed hook ups for lights, etc and an Air Force One Brake system for my 2018 F150. Crystal did a great job of comparing options and matching pricing from across the web. She offered free installation. The Installer, Shane was awesome, I wanted all hookups hidden by the front plate on the F150 when not towing, Shane came through and then some. Finally, the manager Robert was excellent on follow-up as we had some air leak once we got home. etrailer stood behind everything and follow was exceptional. Very pleased! 553940

Great experience, quick shipping, excellent video and instructional references to go along with the products. I did the installation of the product myself and was quite pleased with the product, quality seems excellent and installation straight forward. This was a perfect match for my 2016 Jeep Wrangler - 2014 Fleetwood Bounder motorhome combination. 339280

Review from a similar Hopkins Nite-Glow in Accessories and Parts
While this cable is made well, it used an alternate pin-out for the brake signal which made it unusable in my application. It is also so tightly coiled that while it is technically long enough to connect from motorhome to towed vehicle there is far too much tension on the cable - risking a loss of connection (and the cable itself). Given the extreme tension and fact that the cable used molded connectors - it is not possible to correct the pin-out without shortening the cable further - so this one is on my junk pile. 242266

The cord it's self is a little short, it will reach OK but is a little tight if you're using a dropped/raised hitch adapter. The plastic plug is a little cheap too. Guess you get what you paid for. Better off spending a couple $$$'s more for a name brand set. 416605

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?
- 7-Pole To 4-Pole Trailer Connector Adapter To Flat Tow 1997 Suzuki Sidekick
- From your photos you have a 7-blade connector on the RexAir and a 4 pin round connector on the 1997 Suzuki Sidekick. The blue wire in your photos is a 4 pin to 4 pin connector which will not work to connect the RV and the Suzuki. All you need is a 7-pole to 4-pole adapter part # HM47043 to connect the RV to the Suzuki.
view full answer... - Availability of Tow Bar Umbilical Style Adapter to Go From 4-Way Flat to 7-Way Blade
- Yes, for a tow bar umbilical extension adapter to go between the 4-way flat of the part # HM56304 and a 7-way socket you'd want the Wesbar adapter part # 787196. This has a 5-way flat on one end and a 7-way blade connector on other. The difference between a 5-way and a 4-way is just the extra pin on the outside of the connector. This pin would simply be left off when used with a 4-way.
I attached a link to a video for this adapter that shows it in use for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended 4-Way Connection Between Towed Vehicle and Motorhome
- The only real advantage of the 4 round over the 4 flat trailer connector is the clean look of the connection point and the protection from elements when not in use. For instance the Pollak Heavy-Duty, 4-Pole, Round Pin Socket, Concealed Terminals - Chrome - Vehicle End # PK11410 has a clean finished look on the front of a towed vehicle and will protect the connection from dirt and debris with the spring loaded cover.
Many people like the connection between the motorhome using a harness...
view full answer... - Towed Vehicle Wiring and Wiring Extension Recommendation for 2013 Honda CR-V
- The tow bar wiring I recommend for your 2013 Honda CR-V is the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56304. This is a custom-fit wiring harness that will plug into your vehicle wiring behind the taillights. I recommend this kit because of the ease of installation and the fact that the harness will prevent electrical feedback to protect your CR-V's electrical system. I have attached an installation video of this wiring harness on a similar vehicle as yours.

- Safe and legal flat towing of a vehicle behind a RV requires a number of components. A tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit, base plates and a braking system for the towed car are essential items; a high/low hitch adapter and wiring extension are also often required. The linked article covers each of these in detail and this is a great place to start getting familiar with the requirements.
For base plates I recommend the Blue Ox # BX1123 which will fit your Grand Cherokee as...

- The Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit with Block Diode # BX8811 that you referenced does not come with a 4-Way connector as you stated.
To add a 4-Way connector you can simply use the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM38138 and connect it to your current wiring using Butt Connectors # DW05744-5.

The Hopkins Nite-Glow 7-way to 5-way flat coiled adapter, part # HM47025 will work with either a 4-pole or a 5-pole trailer connector. It would plug right into the connector at the front of the towed vehicle provided by the Hopkins Towed Vehicle Wiring Harness you referenced, part # HM56302.

- Sounds like your dinghy vehicle is getting corrosion in it's tow bar lighting connector from driving the vehicle in inclement weather. If you wanted to go with the kit part # HM47044 that would be a great solution to give you a new umbilical from the tow vehicle to the dinghy and a new 4-way for the dinghy as well.
If you can I would try to mount the 4-way out of the direct path of possible rain or spray from other vehicles.

- Sounds like you are looking for the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil part # HM47043 which will plug a 7-way blade to a 4-way round connector.
Or if you need the 4-way round socket as well you'd need the part # HM47044.
