Speaker 1: Today we're gonna take a look at the Hopkins eight foot long coiled night glow tow bar extension cord with the six way round sockets. Now, this kit will let you easily run power from your RV to your tow vehicle. The adapter cord, this will connect a six way round connector that mounts on your RV to the six way round connector that'll mount on your tow car. It does include the two six way round sockets that you'll wire into the RV and the tow car, and comes with the mounting brackets for installing them, too, with the mounting hardware.Now, what's nice on this adapter cord, the two ends here, the red ends, they're night glow plugs which will light up when your taillights on the RV are activated. What's nice about that is it'll confirm continuity of your taillight circuits and it'll also help you find your electrical connections in the dark.It is a coiled cable that'll stretch to fit your needs, keeps the wire from dragging on the ground, and on each end they do use the easy to grip heavy duty finger pulls here that'll help you install it and even remove it.A few specs on this again. The cable length, when it's fully stretched, would be eight foot long.But that should do it for the review on the Hopkins eight foot long coiled night glow tow bar extension cord with the six way round sockets..

We have not been able to get out and try these much yet, but they seem great so far!
This set of sockets, mounts and cord are a good price from etrailer. Everything arrived in good condition a few days after placing the order. I use this to hook up the lights on my tow car to my RV. I like the coiled cord instead of a straight one. The sockets are plastic, but seem well constructed. The contacts are not copper, but steel(?). Hope they don't corrode. I tried the hookup already and everything worked perfect. Naturally, you have to be careful to connect the individual wires to the right terminals. A diagram is included.
The products purchased were to allow me to tow my new Jeep Grand Cherokee behind my motorhome. Actually I had purchased a similar setup from you Five years earlier for my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Both worked as advertised and I was very satisfied.
Came unplugged after being used about 16 cycles, it doesn't take long to destroy at 65 MPH. Will stay with metal plugs from now on. Thirty six years RVing second cable lost. First was caught between hitch and towbar my fault.
High quality materials Easy to connect wires to terminals Good price Fast delivery 2 hours to install and hook up. Used for towing Jeep behind motor home. 5 wires needed for tail lights, left turn, right turn, ground, and Invisibrake indicator/alarm.
Received in good fast time and is what I needed to go to only 1 cable from my motorhome to tow.
Haven't installed items yet but they look great and etrailer products and service has always been excellent.
Just installed and it is working flawle ssly.
Very well made and easy to bolt up.

Excellent product. Made my life much easier when towing the Jeep behind the motor home. One quick plug in and the Jeep has power to the battery to run the brake controller, turn, running and brake lights.

Nicely packaged, it was easy to install. It being a yellow cord it should be easy to find, but the ends light with the lights of the rv on, so if I have to connect or disconnect in the dark it will help. Thank you e-trailer for the quick response and great customer service.

Seems to be a sturdy product. We'll see how it performs after 5 months on the road. Thanks, etrailer, for the affordable options compared to my local RV stores.

Product looks really good, just wish it was a foot longer. I haven't tried it yet. I hope it doesn't pull out when making turns. I'm using it on my Saturn toad car, behind my class C fleetwood motor home.

This item was advertised at a lower cost than others from this vendor, and took a very long time to obtain. Heavy duty, maintains coil very well after a year of use, and I like that the ends are illuminated when the tow vehicle lights are on.

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!

Description: Hopkins Nite-Glow Tow Bar 7-Way RV to 6-Way Extension Cord cable not really 8' as advertised; My trip last week had many safety problems with this, must stretch it beyond a reasonable tension to get 8' length; result does not stay properly seated in 7 pin plug on my motorhome.

This looks pretty good, again I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but I'm sure it'll work fine. Maybe I'll report back once I have it installed and working.

Easy to wire up my tow
Review from a similar 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.
