Still works great. The light up feature is great for knowing if a lighting problem is the vehicle or trailer.
by: Paul 07/11/2023
Just bought a longer ball mount to pull my boat, and needed a longer trailer wire
This should do the job.

The yellow wire coating is cracking and flaking off.
by: Dan 04/10/2023
The adapter works great. Actually, this was the exact replacement my trailer originally had. I tried one other adapter, not same brand and it didn't connect securely, not allowing a good connection.
by: Nicholas 01/03/2023
I used this for both a boat trailer and my garden trailer. Each trailer has different length cords for lights and this works great to not only reach, but also keep the longer cord from dragging low. Connects to my VW Touareg's output adapter without issue. Stores easily and the glow feature is a plus when hooking things up at night.
by: Downriverbob04/26/2013
Great item, I first had the four pin model which is also great. Had to get 5 pin model for boat trailer that has surge brakes.

Outstanding service with numerous updates on status. Excellent company, superior customer service.

Exactly what I ordered and came three days early

Apparently the trailer coiled wire adapters for marine use have a 3 year life span. It is good to know that even with the covid bologna I did receive my coil just before memorial day weekend

With lighted connectors you know you have electricity to the trailer.

You mentioned that it started melting and I wanted to ask you a few follow questions. Do you have still have the harness? Would you be able to send a picture? Would you also be able to send a picture of the back of your motorhome.
by: Ed09/10/2015
Received the new connector and appears to be HD and good quality. This connector should last ... The coiled conductors should eliminate the excess wire from dragging on the roadway.
by: Pete 02/06/2020
Works great. I already had an adapter that did the same thing but needed a bit more cord. Lights up like advertised, super heavy duty. I haven’t used it much but it looks like it will hold up for a long time. Nice to have 5 pins vs most that are 4.
by: Edward02/08/2019
I use this for my boat trailer and it is nice to know everything is working properly.
by: Eddie B.08/15/2017
super heavy duty this is my second one, the first lasted 9 years on my boat trailer and other flat trailers the ground on the 4 prong end broke so I ordered another.
by: gaetan P.05/28/2014
Seems to be a nice quality connector...hope it works well for a few years.
by: Robert 02/06/2021
Heavy duty, easy to use, unconditionally recommend it. Looks like it will outlast me!

I like the red indicator that there is a connection after plugging it into the receptacle.
by: E. Woods04/20/2015
A quality product and delivered fast. I would recommend etrailer for all your needs.
by: Mark06/13/2011
Exactly what I needed, makes it much easier to see that the connection is working. Very fast shipping too!!
by: Larry V01/14/2017
This adapter is a higher quality unit than I anticipated, it works as stated, and was delivered promptly. I would purchase this again.
by: Brian W.06/03/2013
Product is exactly what I needed, thanks. Quality connections, and the added illumination when connected and working is an added benefit for peace of mind.

See what our Experts say about this Hopkins Trailer Wiring
- Coiled Length of the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire # HM47025I went and pulled a Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire # HM47025 from our warehouse to measure it and found that in its natural coiled state it measures 13-1/2 inches long. If you take the ends and point them away from each other but without stretching the coils it measures 19 inches long.
view full answer... - 7-Way to 5-Way Extension Adapter for Boat with Surge BrakesActually the part # HM47025 that you mentioned would be the perfect solution for you to use. The 7-way of the adapter will plug into the 7-way of your truck and then the coiled extension will give you 3 feet of extra wire to attach to the 5-way of your trailer.
view full answer... - What Is The Difference Between These Flex-Coiled Wire Adapters by Hopkins - # HM47025 And # HM47075These Hopkins wire adapters, Item # HM47025 and Item # HM47075, have similar functions. Both are heavy-duty, coiled cable with weatherproof jacketing. Both have easy-grip connectors and light up when connected. Both are 3 foot when stretched. Both adapt a 7-Way connector to work with a 4-Way or 5-Way flat connector on a trailer. One difference is that the The Hopkins Endurance Adapter, Item # HM47075, has a 3-year limited warranty. I have attached videos for you to check out.

view full answer... - Will Coiled Adapter 7-Way to 5-Flat Adapter part # HM47025 Work on a Boat Trailer with Surge BrakesThe Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter 7-Way to 5-Way Flat with Nite-Glow # HM47025 WILL work for you as long as the reverse light circuit is active on the 7-way of your 2012 Toyota Tundra (it should work). The reviewer you referenced unfortunately was confused on what this product does. Since one end of this adapter only has 5 circuits then there is no way 7 circuits could possibly be carried through the adapter. Since you have surge brakes those additional 2 circuits would...
view full answer... - What are Pin Functions of 5-Way End on Hopkins Adapter # HM47025When looking at the 5-Way end of the Hopkins Coiled Adapter # HM47025 like you described, with the male pin being number 5, the pin functions are as follows: 1. Backup Light Circuit 2. Right Turn/Brake 3. Left Turn/Brake 4. Running/Tail 5. Ground With this in mind it definitely looks like something might be miswired on your setup. The first thing I recommend doing is testing the 7-Way on your RV in the same manner that you tested the 5-Way on the adapter. The functions should match the...

- Is There a Different Sized Plug Version of the Hopkins HM47025?The simple answer to this is going to be no, because trailer connections adhere to an industry standard in order to ensure compatibility between different manufacturers and for end user convenience. Trailer connector adapters like the current # HM47025 will be the same size as something like the Hopkins # HM47065 -they are all going to have the same dimensions assuming they're the same type of connections (7 flat, 4 or 5 blade, etc.). For these reasons, the 7 way end on the any adapter...
view full answer... - Wiring Adapter to Convert Vehicle 7-Way to 5-Pole Flat Connector for Boat TrailerUsually a factory tow package on the Suburban has a 7-way type trailer socket, like # HM40975. There are 6-pole wiring products out there but these have a very different appearance. If you refer to the linked article on wiring you'll be able to see each type and confirm which you have. Often the center contact on a 7-way, which carries a reverse light signal, is not counted as it has a different appearance than the other contacts in the socket. If you do indeed have a 7-way with a reverse...
view full answer... - Availability of 8 Foot Flat Towing Umbilical with 7-Way on One End and 4-Pole Flat on the OtherThere's not an available 7-way to 4-pole flat umbilical like what you're looking for, but I do have some easy solutions for you. 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. If the unused socket bothered you, you could cover it with a small piece...

- Not All Boat Trailer Lights Light Up Using a 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter On a 2013 GMC SierraSince your truck is new, it is not likely that there is a problem with its wiring. So the adapter you already have could be faulty or there is a ground issue on the trailer. The functions of a 5-Way are as follows: The covered pin is ground. Next to it is the running light pin, followed by the left turn/brake light pin, then the right turn/brake light pin. And at the very end there is the pin for the electric reverse lockout solenoid on your surge coupler. Make sure that your 5-Way on...
view full answer... - Availability of Flat Towing Umbilical Cable Longer Than 3 Feet in LengthWe do offer some longer coiled cables that would work for you. Wesbar offers a 7-way to 5-pole coiled adapter, that will also work fine for a 4-pole. For a 3 foot length, use part # HM47025. For an 8 foot length, use part # 787196.
view full answer... - Can Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter 7-Way to 5-Way be Used for Flat TowingThe Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter 7-Way to 5-Way Flat with Nite-Glow # HM47025 that you referenced is designed to carry the brake, turns, tail, reverse and ground functions, and is typically used for towing a trailer as opposed to a flat towing setup. I like to recommend the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 for flat towing vehicles because it is reliable and allows you to install everything you need for flat towing. It sounds like you're trying to use a trailer brake...
view full answer... - Old Trailer Wiring 5-Way had 6 Wires But New 5-Way Has 5 WiresThe trailer connector that you had is what is called a wishbone harness. It has 2 running light wires so you do not have to run a jumper wire for running lights from one side of the trailer to the other. Wesbar harness # W002290 is an example of a wishbone 5-Way. All you have to do is connect the 2 running light wires from the trailer wiring together and then to the brown wire on the new harness. Or, if you are replacing all the wiring, you would run a jumper wire from one side of the...

To be used with something such as the # HM47025 used for the 7 way RV blade trailer socket on the vehicle and adapts it to work with a 4 or 5-wire flat connector on the trailer.

- Connecting a Boat Trailer with a 5-Way and EOH Brakes to 2015 Ram 3500 with 7-Way Trailer ConnectorTthe Hopkins connector, part # HM47025, will connect your 2015 Ram 3500's 7-way to your boat trailer's 5-way but it won't power the EOH brakes. Your truck's brake output pin is the in 5 O'clock position which is standard and the center pin is the reverse light circuit. The Hopkins connector uses that reverse light circuit for the 5th pin that's normally on a boat trailer for its electric reverse lockout. Instead I'd cut the trailer's 5-way off and replace it with a 7-way. Part # e99011...
view full answer... - Adapter To Go From Vehicle End 7-Way Round To A 7-Way Flat Trailer CordYes, we do have an adapter that will work for this purpose with the Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter # PK12-724. This will plug in to the 7 way round pin connector on the back of your truck. The other end of the adapter has the female 7 way flat connector, into which you can plug your trailer cord.
view full answer... - Is 14 ga. Wire Sufficient for Wiring up a Brake ControllerI would strongly recommend you use a 10 gauge wire in place of the 14 gauge wire as 14 gauge wire is only good for 15 amps which will not be enough for your 2 axle trailer with 4 brake assemblies. For 10 gauge wire you could use our part # 10-1-1. I attached an FAQ article on wiring up a brake controller from scratch for you to check out also.
view full answer... - How Many Trailer Brakes Should be Used with a 20 Amp Circuit Breaker or 30 Amp Circuit BreakerThe recommendation for 2 to 4 brakes is a 20 amp circuit breaker, # PK54520, and for 6 to 8 brakes a 30 amp circuit breaker, # 38630, just as you have stated. Usually, you would go with the smallest sized circuit breaker for the system being used. This is so if there is a problem, it can be caught right away. If you plan on towing trailers with 2 to 4 brakes and trailers with 6 to 8 brakes, it would be best to go with the 30 amp circuit breaker as the 20 amp circuit breaker would not...

I have the RoadMaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit, # RM-146-7, that is 8 feet long, but you would need to remove the 6-pole plug and attach the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - 5' Long Item # HM37908, to give you a 5-Flat vehicle end or the Tow Ready 4-Flat Vehicle End Harness, # 18002, to give you a 4-Flat vehicle...
view full answer... - How to Use the Coiled Adapter 7-Way to 5-Flat Part # HM47025 with a Reverse Lockout SolenoidI assume you are referring to the reverse lockout solenoid wire and if that is the case then you would need to wire or check that the trailer side trailer connector has this wire on the far left pin which you can see in the attached photo of similar to the Hopkins Coiled Adapter 7-Way Flat Pin Blade to 5-Flat # HM47025. This pin should then match up with the reverse light circuit on your vehicle's 7-way.

- Recommended 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Extension and Wiring for Boat Trailer Behind In-Bed CamperIt sounds like you need about a fairly long extender and there unfortunately is not an extender that isn't also a reducer for your 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver. My recommendation is to use the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" Long # C45048 which has the same capacities as the similar Reese # RP45292 and then use a more cost effective option for your ball mount like the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45900. This will give you an adjustable...
view full answer... - Recommended Way to Re-Wire a Boat Trailer with a 7-Way PlugThe adapter will work but it's more of a short-term solution because of the potential corrosion issues in the future not to mention when you introduce additional connection points problems can arise. I would test the reverse lockout (purple or blue wire) with a circuit tester with the 7-Way center pin. If that works you are good. I would recommend rewiring the trailer with a 7-Way plug because it will prove to be more reliable than using an adapter. I would start with a trailer junction...

This adapter takes a trailer-side 7-way plug and mates it to a 5-pole flat connector. All 5 pins on the 5-pole are connected at the 7-way side but a 12V power feed and trailer brake circuit are NOT supported. Two pins on the 7-way are inactive. If you need 7-wire jacketed cable we offer Deka # DW04914-1 which is sold by the foot and that has no connectors included. Or if...

- Towing Triton Bass Boat Behind 2017 Ram 1500 Short Bed with Lance 650 Truck Bed CamperIn order to tow your Triton boat behind your 2017 Ram 1500 with the Lance 650 on board, you need a Class V hitch like the Curt # C15572 . Once you have the Class V hitch, you need an extender bar similar to the Hitch Extender # HE18 paired with an extended ball mount like the Hidden Hitch 13-1/4" Extended Ball Mount # BH20 in order to get the correct length clearance from the back of your camper. You'll also want to consider adding a wiring extension like the Hopkins Coiled Adapter 7-Way...
