Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Wiring Socket w/ Rubber Boot - Vehicle End
This part is an exact replacement to the part that failed. The failure was caused by a poor installation which allowed the rubber boot to chaff on the truck frame. As it was an exact replacement installation was straight forward although I modified the mounting bracket to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.
Decent enough plug. It was an easy install. I would have liked to have allen screws to get a good bite, but will check the connections after a use or two.

Pollak Heavy-Duty, 4-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket - Metal - Vehicle End
Heavy built. Very much wish it had a cable clamp on the backside similar to its male equivalent. As it is all the strain on the wiring/cable is supported by the terminals themselves.
I've got that trailer that has had one tough life. Yep, hundreds of gigs, PA and sound equipment rolling in and out, the heat, the cold, the sun, rain, and snow. Chicks, guitar players and drummers, you know, all the things that beat the hell out of a drum! Thank the music Gods for etrailer.com! The place to remedy the ills that trailers need in times of harsh environments, tough crowds, tin-ear'd musicians, and you ain't nothing but Hound Dogs!

RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector - Vehicle End
Note to self: Always push brake pedal firmly before releasing parking brake. especially when Jeep is slightly uphill from Blue Ox tow bar. :-) This was a very quick fix, (unfortunately not quick enough, the wife saw me before I could hide it) maybe took 10 minutes total. A socket set and a small phillips screwdriver are all I needed for this replacement.
Works, kind of wish it could have been placed in a different location

Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
Love the compact size for both 7way and 5/4 way connections. Install was pretty easy. The wire instructions are for a traditional 7 way color code. Would be nice if they included a RV color code and heavy duty. But just a multi meter or cross reference with your wires manual is all that's needed. I did not give 5 stars because I did not like the 2 flimsy hook connection to attach the wire shield backing to the connector. I reinforced with some black tape because it was sperated. Also would have liked if the 5/4 way door was spring loaded just like the 7 way. I mounted my connection sideways to use gravity to help keep that flap close.
Heavy duty constructed is definitely a plus there are a couple shortcomings that I was surprised to see.. first off for it to be truly waterproof where the cable enters the back of the plug needs to be more waterproof. Also stainless steel screws were not used and I just don't understand why they are selling a product that cannot stand up to the test of time and these are two rather inexpensive improvements that can be made.

Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
I do not recommend this product. I bought this for my truck. It seems to be the nicest looking plug on the market but after the first rain, the plug was filled with water. I changed the location from the hitch to the bumper and once again the plug was filled with water after it rained. This condition will obviously lead to terminals corroding and/or wires being shorted out. I have bought a different style plug, unfortunately the same brand but hopefully I will have better luck. May be able to drill a small drain hole in the casing to allow water to escape but shouldn't have to do this on a new product.
I bought this socket for my 2006 Volvo Xc90 to wire in the 4-Pole harness I also purchased from etrailer. Already had a few 7 Blade to 4-Pole adapters from my previous vehicle, and wanted the option of adding a trailer brake wire for a small camper later on so that was the main reason for the purchase. It also went very well with the Hidden Hitch I had already installed, bracket mounted right up to the existing tabs on the hitch. Super quick and easy install, as all of my etrailer purchases have been. Looks great on the truck, and functions great with the 180 Degree cover.

Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket - Vehicle End
Works great as an adapter. I used it to convert a truck camper electrical harness to a Lance camper receptacle.
Hooked up only 12 volt for charging the battery on my dump trailer. Works fine.

Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket - Exposed Terminals w/ Rubber Boot -Vehicle End
Used this as the connection point for the Roadmaster diode wiring kit. Seems to be well made and will hopefully last a long time. I did spray paint it flat black so it blends into the front bumper of my “toad” a little better.
Very sturdy and secure attachment, much better than the cheaper plastic ones that I have had break before. However, the rubber boot doesn't stay around the wire attachments
What our customers are saying:
