Hopkins Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way RV Style Blade Plug to 7-Pole Round Pin

See what our Experts say about this Hopkins Trailer Wiring

• Running Light Only Works in Reverse with the Hopkins 7-Way Blade to 7-Way Round Adapter # 47595
  The 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...

• Solution for Towing a European Trailer with a US Spec Tow Vehicle
  The only solution I could help you with would be the third option you listed. You would want a trailer side 7-way like part # H20042 to wire up to an EU socket found local to create an adapter to use your US spec vehicle with EU trailer wiring. I attached a chart that labels the functions of the wires on this connector. The Adapter 7 Way (Blade) to 7 Way (Round Pin) # 47595 that you referenced is not an adapter for EU wiring nor do we offer any adapters for EU trailers or vehicles.

• Adapter for Trailer with 7-Way Round Connector and 2012 Honda Ridgeline with 7-Way Blade Connector
  It 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.

• How to Wire Up a 6-Way on a Hawk Trailer
  Since 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...

• Will Hopkins 7 Way Blade to 7 Way Round Adapter # 47595 Work with 2001 Ford F-350 and Camper
  Based on the information you have provided, I see no reason why the Hopkins 7 Way Blade to 7 Way Round Adapter # 47595 would not work. Another option would be to remove the 7-way round pin connector from your camper and replacing it with the Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Connect # HM48500. The mounting bracket, hardware, and grease packet are included and I have provided a link to the installation instructions for this product as well. Regarding your question about a cover for your...

• Availability of Wiring Adapter to Convert 7-Way RV Connector to 9-Pole Round Pin on 1984 Jayco
  9-pin connectors are rare these days. We do still offer vehicle and trailer side connectors of this type, such as # PK12907 and # PK12906, but we do not have any adapters that can convert your truck's 7-way blade-style RV connector to a 9-pole round pin type. A 9-pole connector like # PK12906 has two extra circuits (auxiliary on the gray wire and reefer on the orange) that would not be supported if fed by a 7-way socket. You'll want to swap out the truck connector using part # PK12907.

• Adding 7-Way Connector To 2010 Lexus RX450h With 4-Way Trailer Connector

• Troubleshooting Wiring Not Matching up When Using Hopkins 7-Way Blade to 7-Way Round Adapter
  Thank you for your purchase of the Hopkins Adapter # 47595! 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...

• Connecting Ram with 7-Way Blade Connector to 5th Wheel Trailer with 7-Way Female Round Pin Connector
  It looks like your Ram is equipped with a standard 7-Way female blade style connector but your trailer has a 7-Way round pin connector, specifically the female end which is usually on the tow vehicle side. Because of this unorthodox setup there isn't a single cable available that will connect the trailer to your Ram but we do have the pieces needed to do this. In order to connect your Ram to the trailer you can use a 7-Way loop like the Bargman # 50-67-210 and then an adapter like the...

• How to Install Trailer Wiring 7-Way on Older Truck with Separate Turn Signals from Brake Lights
  You'll first need to install a 4-way on your truck that is designed to take separate turn signals and convert them to combined. For that you'd want the part # 119250KIT which will give you a 4-way that has combined circuits. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything...

• Where is the Factory Wiring Harness to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2004 Chevy Tahoe
  On your 2004 Chevy Tahoe, you should find the wiring harness underneath the rear of the vehicle, above the spare tire. You may have to remove the spare tire to access the harness. The harness might not be long enough to reach where the the Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket, # HM40975, will mount. If this is the case, you can use Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connector, # 30955 instead. You stated that your trailer has a 7 round plug. Check to see that the pins...

• 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2003 Land Rover Discovery II
  We have trailer wiring solutions for your 2003 Land Rover Discovery II but they are hardwired harnesses with like the part # C59496 that provides the taillight signals that you'd need to start with. Then from there you'd need to convert it to a 7-way you'd need the part # 37185 which is the style that uses blades for the pins. If you need a 7-way with pins you'd also need the adapter part # 47595. We do not carry any 6-way flat connectors so I am fairly certain what you are referring to...

• Truck Bed Wiring for a Slide in Camper on a 2008 Nissan Titan
  With a camper in the bed, and an in-line wiring harness connected, you will retain the use of the 7-Way at the rear of the truck (if it has a factory tow package) but you will not be able to use both at the same time. Either the camper can be plugged in or the trailer. Trying to use both at the same time will overload the electrical system in the truck. If your 2008 Nissan Titan has a factory tow package, what you can do to provide wiring for the truck bed camper is install the Curt 5th...

  We do offer quite a few types of trailer wiring adapters/extensions that can be seen by clicking on the linked page.

• Troubleshooting a Right Turn Signal on a 7-Way of a 2000 Ford F-150
  First 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...

• 7-Way Trailer Plug Adapter or Compatibility with Lance Slide-In Truck Bed Camper
  Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we do have adapters for. If you have a 7-way round, then you will use adapter # 47595. If you have a 6-way plug then you will use adapter # 47549 or # PK12728. If you have the special Lance plug, I recommend replacing it with # A7WCB which would directly...

• Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2000 Jeep Cherokee with 4-Way Flat
  The 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7 is just what you will need to add a 7-Way and to hardwire in a brake controller of your choosing. The 7-Way included with the # ETBC7 is a blade style 7-Way. If the trailer requires round pins and not blade style pins then you would also need another adapter, # 47595. I have included some links that show and explain # ETBC7 installation for you. It isn't the same vehicle in the video but the process is the same. For a brake controller I recommend...

• Is there a 7-Way Blade to 7-Way Round Pin Adapter that Also has a 4-Way Flat Receptacle
  Hopkins adapter # HM40950 plugs in in place of a blade style 7-Way connector that uses the standard US car connector. It has a 4-Way and 7-Way blade style receptacles. So if you are looking for a 7-Way round pin this one would not work and you would have to remove the old 7-Way and replace it with this one. In order to keep your 7-Way and adapter to a 7-Pole round pin you can use # 47595. But it does not have a 4-Way. None of the 7 blade to 7 round pin adapters have a 4-Way included. So...

• Adding a 7-Way Round Pin Trailer Connector to a 2010 Ford Expedition with a Factory 4-Way Flat
  Vehicles manufactured now-a-days are fitted with the blade style 7-Way so that is what most manufacturers make to fit vehicles either as replacements or aftermarket add-ons. To add a 7-Way round pin to your 2010 Ford Expedition you will need # PK11720, boot # PK11761, and mounting bracket # PK11771.
