We bought a couple of these to throw in our pickup’s they have proven to be very useful, and we have had no problem with them.

great customer service kept me informed about the delay with the product just hated the amount of time it took to get the items in Stock and shipped out to me but i understand that is beyond your control

This HOPKINS product 47595 is exactly what I was looking for and thank goodness it is carried by ETRAILER.COM. Reasonabley priced on this quality product, i couldn't be more pleased. Attached to my seven pin flat to round pin trailer plug and all works. ETRAILER.COM kept me informed with emails and a courtesy phone call on shipping. GREAT company, will be doing business in future with ETRAILER.COM.

I purchased this adapter because I didn't have time to assemble one myself but it didn't work. It was not wired correctly! When I tried backing up with the electrical plug connected, it applied the brakes and wouldn't allow me to move the trailer without disconnecting the plug. Once I got the wires in the right place it worked fine. The wires are all a heavy guage and it has the rubber boot to cover the screws on the back side of the vehicle plug. Very pleased once we got the wires in the right place.

I have a couple of different trucks and trailers with different plug configurations. Seven way round and seven way flat ( RV ) this adapter was wired correctly, was just what we needed.
by: Justin W09/30/2020
This works perfectly and is small enough to fit in your glovebox or job box so you always have it when needed. I use it for one trailer so I do not have it mounted but more as a work around since that trailer is only used several times a year. Save yourself the headache of wiring and purchase this.
by: Mike I08/14/2012
Basically they built what you could build yourself. You could buy the parts and take the time to build it but you would not save money or time or be able to build it any better. They only con would be the 7-way pin plug is bulky since it was intended for a vehicle application and to be bolted in. They used the best parts I have seen available and have a good build quality. Buy it if you need it, it's worth it!
by: Brian Plumb10/07/2014
The product worked, but the metal end cannot be attached to the bumoper of the truck becuase the wiring between the connectors is not near long enough.
I would like to see a similar connector made with both ends made of rubber so that it does not need attached to the bumper and then it will not mar the bumper when attached to a trailer.
by: Joe 05/28/2021
The online diagrams made the correct adapter choice easy. The wiring adapter worked perfectly right out of the box. I later needed a second adapter for a different application and it was perfect as well.
by: Don K10/06/2014
Hard to find this anywhere else, I'm glad etrailer had it. We use it to hook our hay baler and shredder lights up to the truck instead of the tractor. We've already ordered more after the first one so we can have one for each truck.
by: Philip02/20/2019
Although the order was held up for some reason and then snow caused a delivery hold up, I finally got the part and it is exactly what I needed. I haven't had the need to use it yet, but the problem I purchased it for is resolved. So unless there is some sort of manufacturer fault, I can't see any reason this adapter wouldn't serve the purpose I bought it for. I would certainly suggest & buy other trailer needs from etrailer.com again.
by: Mike L09/09/2016
Adapter just arrived this afternoon. Have not hooked up the trailer yet but it looks like it will probably fit. Will try it out this weekend and let you know if there are any issues. Thanks for getting it to us in a hurry, thanks for the great customer service.

Just fine, no problems.

etrailer.com is awesome, package was stolen out of my mailbox, and once I filed a police report, they shipped me out a replacement at no cost and the item received was of great quality

Just what I needed to go from my tractor accessories to my truck

It worked out perfectly, I have to transport a borrowed telephone pole trailer from out line workers training back to PPL and to able to use the trailer light is a biggie

by: Steven F.11/20/2011
Just as described. Works great. Saves a lot of hassle rewiring the trailer plug if you are borrowing it from someone else.

by: Bob M01/20/2017
Works really well to adapt a commercial type plug over to an RV connector without having to change over and rewire.
by: Tim W05/23/2017
Exactly what I needed to be able to connect to my heavy equipment trailer. etrailer is always my go to company for anything trailer related. Never had a problem and always receive my products quickly.
by: Bob M01/18/2012
Great idea! Adds flexibility to towing various trailers. The mechanics at work made their own for about the same price I paid, without spending the time for assembly.
by: pat03/07/2013
this is a great product. Better than having to wire another plug in on the back of my trucks and i can use if for more than one truck

- Length Measurements of Adapter 7 Way Blade to 7 Way Round Pin, # 47595For Adapter 7 Way (Blade) to 7 Way (Round Pin), # 47595, the distance between the plugs is 4-1/2 inches. I measured from the back of one connector to the back of the other connector. Overall length is about 12 inches.
view full answer... - Which Circuit of 7-Way Trailer Wiring is the Reverse Light CircuitI can easily help you identify the reverse circuit of your 7-way but we don't know have access to the wire colors. The great news though is the reverse light circuit of your 7-way is the center pin which is the easiest to identify.

- How to Wire Up a 6-Way on a Hawk TrailerSince trailer wires colors are not always consistent among manufacturers the best way to figure the functions of each circuit is to test each circuit individually. There are two ways you can do this, the easier way is to get a car battery and run a jumper wire from the positive side of the battery to each of the wires in question. When you put current on each circuit you should be able to see what functions activate, which will tell you what does what. I would recommend you label each...

- How is the Adapter 7 Way Blade to 7 Way Round Pin # 47595 ConfiguredI will be happy to tell you how the pins are configured on the Adapter # 47595. On the 7-Way blade side, if you are looking at the face of the plug: 1 oclock position = tail and running lights 3 oclock position = left turn and brake lights 5 oclock position = ground 7 oclock position = output to trailer brakes 9 oclock position = right turn and brake lights 11 oclock position = 12 volt power Center position = reverse lights/auxiliary circuit On the 7-Way Round pin side, if looking at...
view full answer... - Adapter for Trailer with 7-Way Round Connector and 2012 Honda Ridgeline with 7-Way Blade ConnectorIt sounds like the connector on the boat is an adapted 4-Way to use with a 7-Way round pin trailer connector on a vehicle. That would be why there are just 4 pins, 3 for the lighting functions and 1 for ground. If that is the case then the 7-Way blade to 7-Way round adapter, # 47595 should work just fine. Most boat trailers have the basic lighting functions but do not have the components that require the other circuits such as 12 volt accessory power and electric brakes.
view full answer... - What are the Funtions of 7-Way Blade Style and 7-Way Round Pin Trailer ConnectorsWhen you disassemble each style of connector, you will find that each terminal is labeled by number. The 7-way round pin is wired as follows. Number 1 is the ground, 2 is the reverse lights, 3 is the left turn/brake lights, 4 is 12 volt auxiliary power, 5 is the right turn/brake light, 6 is the tail/marker light and 7 is the brake output. The 7-way connector with the blade pins is wired differently. Terminal 1 is ground, 2 is brake output, 3 is taillights, 4 is 12 volt accessory power,...
view full answer... - Adapter to Connect RV Style 7-Way Connector on Tow Vehicle to Round Pin 7-Way on TrailerYes, the part # 47595 that you referenced is exactly what you are looking for. It will plug into the 7-way blade connector on your tow vehicle and will give you a round style 7-way for your trailer to connect to.
view full answer... - Mounting Hole Locations for Hopkins 7 Blade to 7 Round Trailer Connector AdapterThe mounting holes for the Hopkins Adapter # 47595 measure 3” apart on center. The 7-Way Round pin connector is something that is found in the States but unfortunately is not compatible with the European wiring. Since European wiring is completely different than what is found in the States there aren't really any adapters that we know of which that can just plug in and make the different wiring systems compatible with each other.

- Length of Hopkins Trailer Connector Adapter # 47595The overall length of the adapter part # 47595 that you referenced is 12 inches. Without counting the length of the connectors though the wire portion is only 4-1/2 inches.
view full answer... - What Will The Center Pin Function Be On Hopkins 7-Way Blade To Round Pin AdapterYes, the Adapter 7 Way (Blade) to 7 Way (Round Pin), will make the center pin the brake control function. Looking at the connector if it were mounted on the back of your vehicle, from the top 12 o clock position going clockwise would be the following, White for ground, Black for 12 volt power, Yellow for left brake and turn, Purple for reverse lights at the 6 o clock position, Green right brake and turn, Brown tail and running lights. I have linked pictures of the connector diagrams...

- How to Go From 4-Way on Vehicle to 7-Way Round on TrailerIt won't be pretty but you would need two adapters. You would need the part # 30717 to convert the 4-way to a 7-way blade and then the part # 47595 to convert the 7-way blade to 7-way round.
view full answer... - Need Adapter for a 6-Way Round Pin on a 1968 Chevy C-50 to a 7-Way on a TrailerTo go from a 6-Way round pin trailer connector on a vehicle to a 7-Way blade style connector on a trailer, you will need to use adapter # 47435. A 6-Way can be wired in 2 different ways, the brake out put could be the center pin or the 12 volt could be the center pin. You may need to re-pin the adapter to match your set up.
view full answer... - Can Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Circuit Tester, # 8010 be Used to Test a Semi Tractor TrailerSemi tractor trailers usually use a 7-Way round pin connector rather than the 7-Way blade style connector that the Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Circuit Tester, # 8010, is designed for. However, it is possible to use an adapter, like the Adapter 7 Way (Blade) to 7 Way (Round Pin), # 47595, to be able to test the semi wiring.

What lights aren't operating properly? Typically for the round plug style connectors we might see the 12V pin and reverse light pins swapped, but aside from that the rest of your lights should be working normally. I'm attaching some photos of what the pinout should be for standard 7-Way blade and 7-Way round connectors. If you can confirm this by going through the functions on your 2013 Chevy Silverado and testing your pins, as...

- 7-Way Blade to 7-Way Round Adapter RecommendationIt sounds like you need a 7-way adapter. If the pins on the 7-way of your truck are blades and the pins on your trailer are round pins then you would need the # 47595. If the setup is the opposite of that you would need the part # HM47425 that you referenced.
view full answer... - How to Plug Lance Camper With Lance Plug Into 7-Way Blade on TruckI do have a solution, but since Lance has their own plug design there are no adapters that will work, including the # 47595. The best option is to replace the lance plug with a standard 7-way blade connector like the # PK12706. This will eliminate the need for an adapter since you can plug it in directly after replacing the connector.
view full answer... - 7-Way Blade to 7-Pin Adapter for Towing a Trailer with A 7-Pin ConnectorThe wiring for the 7-Pin connector is different than the 7-Way blade connector. You will need an adapter to make the two different styles compatible. You can use the Adapter 7 Way (Blade) to 7 Way (Round Pin), # 47595. The blade end plugs into the 7-Way on your vehicle and the trailer round pin 7-Way will plug into the receptacle. I have also included a link to a wiring FAQ article that shows how the two styles differ from one another.

- Running Light Only Works in Reverse with the Hopkins 7-Way Blade to 7-Way Round Adapter # 47595The Hopkins 7-Way Blade to 7-Way Round Adapter, # 47595, was designed to be rewired. This adapter was designed to be rewired because there is no industry standard when it comes to wiring a 7-way round style trailer connector. If your tail lights come on when the vehicle is put in reverse, then, at the back of the 7-way round end, switch the yellow wire with the green wire (see video). If that is the only issue you have come across, then that should fix your problem. If you are having...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Right Turn Signal on a 7-Way of a 2000 Ford F-150First thing you should do at this point is test the 7-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue. Make sure that the trailer side connector is clean...
view full answer... - Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-150 with 7-WayThe 7-way on your 2012 Ford F-150 carries the brake output circuit that will activate the brakes of a trailer. But you will first need to install a brake controller in your truck as that does not happen automatically. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle...
view full answer... - 7-Way Diagram Recommendation to Test Wiring of Motorhome withMost likely you have a 7-way at the rear of your tow vehicle which I attached a diagram for how it would be pinned out. You'd want to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the pins of the 7-way to make sure they match the diagram.

- How To Plug 1997 Lance Truck Camper Into 7-way Connector On 2016 Ford F-250We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the # PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way on your 2016 Ford F-250. There is not a adapter compatible with the connector on your 1997 Lance Camper as they use their own style connector that does not match any standard connectors.
