Yes I use it from my motorhome to the jeep I tow and to the trailers.

Excellent replacement for original. Especially like the lighted receptacle allowing me to see there is connected power supply.

Made it easy to wire my 2015 JK for towing. Installation instructions were simple and straightforward.
by: Ken 11/18/2022
Everything came as ordered and is perfect for my needs.
by: Bob 11/21/2021
Works good. Like the lighted function on plug when tail markers are on. Immediately let's you know you have power going to towed vehicle.
by: Wayne09/30/2021
Great product, use this on my diesel pusher towing a buick enclave - plenty long enough and really appreciate the light to make sure all is hooked up before checking the lights on the car. etrailer has never disappointed.
by: Barney02/17/2022
Nice cable this replaces the one that came with the motor home I bought. The cable that I’m replacing has seen better days and looks like it was pinched in a home made tow bar. So better safe sorry!
by: Peter E02/03/2022
Very good product that was absolutely as advertised. More importantly the team at E-Trailer team are first class at helping to make sure the part I wanted was exactly what they shipped. Superb customer service not something that you see every day.
by: John T.07/02/2013
Pluses are that the product is exactly as advertised, arrived on time at nearly half the cost of the blue coiled wire i needed to replace. Minuses are length, (it works but it pulls harder on the connectors than it would if it was a foot longer) and the red translucent molded connectors soften while in hot climates. Only time will tell how long they last. (unfortunately the wire isn't long enough to replace connectors with aftermarket ones) If manufacturer would harden the red ends and add a foot to the overall length they'd have the perfect trailer connecter for your toad.
Comments
Thanks Patrick for great customer service and the best follow-up weve seen. Following a year of nearly continuous use we have had no negative issues with our coiled wiring pigtail. To my surprise the molded connectors are showing no signs of wear and the marginal length, although stretched tight, has not been an issue. I still believe adding 10-12 inches of lenght to the coil would be an improvement but overall the product has proved to be a wise purchase that we would definitely buy again.

It’s ok, just not long enough
by: Tom O05/18/2013
I was a little worried about the 8' foot being too long and dragging between my toad and RV, but the coils keep it up, it would have way too much tension beyond 7'. My RV came with a 7 blade connector so that end was no question and I choose the 6 Pole so I could take power lead across in case I ever had an application for power or charging. I did not hook up the power lead out of the toad connector, but could easily do so at any point in the future without needing a new connector or cable. The Toad end connector does light up and can be seen day or night.
Comments
Working fine after a year of use, would not change a thing.
Tom O - 05/25/2014by: Joel02/05/2022
fits perfect, a little slow to get it. I Will continue to shop at etrailer.
by: Jeff11/10/2017
Everything worked great except the I had to make adjustment to the 7 pin end in order to make a solid connection. The lid flap on the factory installed end would not hold the 7 pin end of the cord tight enough.
Comments
Great after the alteration I had to make
Jeff H - 11/10/2018by: Tom L04/26/2019
Purchased but was concerned because the price was great.
The electrical harness was well built and sturdy. Have been using since I received the cable with no problems.
I would purchase a again without question or concern.
Comments
Still works great and still lights up. Works as well as more expensive tow connector wiring harnesses.
Tom L - 04/27/2020by: Mike C05/21/2019
Purchased the flat tow bar, connector and wiring harness for towing my CRV behind my RV. . The phone support was great, information was accurate. All parts were received timely. The etrailer YouTube videos were excellent f.or step by step instructions. I saved a bundle doing the installation myself.
by: Michael03/26/2022
Nice to have a spare and like the light up feature to let me know all is working.
by: Vinnfizz12/20/2019
Have used this for a full year and it has performed flawlessly from day one and many cycles on our toad! The lighted nite glow end confirms proper plug in continuity. My previous one had a black rubber sheathing on the coiled cord that flaked off in large chunks. This new one shows no signs of cracking! Will buy again if ever needed.
etrailer.com has some of the best prices online and repeatedly outdo any of RV big box stores and RV dealer stores. Online ordering is fast easy and sometimes free or low cost shipping.
by: Mark S.04/14/2017
I bought this to replace my original dinghy connector cord. Very nicely made. Works fine but it needs to be just a few inches longer. On one occasion, after making a sharp turn, the tension on the cord pulled just enough on the coach end of the connection to slightly dislodge the plug and disconnect the circuits. Fortunately, I noticed there was no green pilot light on the control head of my dinghy brake system. Checked the plug connections and found the pug at the coach end slightly ajar. Pushed the plug back into place and all was fine. If the cord was 6" longer it would be perfect.
by: Bob M11/01/2012
Excellent service from etrailer. The Flex-Coil Adapter is said to stretch to 8' but it is such a tight stretch that one end pulled out of the motorhome recepticle the first time I tried it. I probably didn't have it fully seated in the recepticle and that the tightness of the coil will ease with use. It appears to be a well-made product.
Comments
After a year, it still does the job but it never did stretch out as I had hoped and would sometimes pull out of the receptacles. I solved this by wrapping a hook
Bob M - 05/02/2014by: Jimmy08/08/2018
The cable looks great not sure about length but is 8 feet when stretched out. One thing pins for battery 12 volts and break control (5 & 6) round plug are switched from wiring on old cable. Does not effect me as I do not use these pins on the car (they are open) in my case.

- What is the Diameter of the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter HM47053I pulled a Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector # HM47053 to measure it and found that if you measure the diameter of just the round portion it measures 1.60 inches, but if you include the raised section built into the connector so that it installs correctly it measures 1.67 inches. Check out the video I attached that shows this measurement.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wiring is Used in the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter HM47053I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil, # HM47053. The overall diameter of the molded yellow cable is 7/16 inches. The actual wires inside of the cable the packaging lists as 16 gauge wire that exceeds SAE standards.
view full answer... - How are the 7- and 6-Way Trailer Connectors Wired in Hopkins Flex-Coil Trailer Connector AdapterThe 7-Way end is a standard blade style 7-Way like in the picture I have included. On the 6-Way end, the center pin is set up for electric brakes. I have included a picture of how it is configured as well.

- 7-Way to 6-Way Recommendation for Flat Towing a Jeep WranglerIt sounds like you are looking for an umbilical wiring adapter to go from a 7-way blade on your RV to a 6-way round on your vehicle that you are flat towing. For that you would want the part # HM47053.
view full answer... - What is Stretched Length of Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053 referenced in your question can be stretched to up to 8 feet long. This adapter will convert your 7-pole, blade-style, vehicle-end connector for use with a 6-wire round connector on the towed vehicle. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Wire Gauge on Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053 referenced in your question features 16 gauge wire, which exceeds SAE standards. This coiled adapter, which can stretch up to 8 feet long, will allow you to convert the 7-Pole vehicle-end connector for use with the 6-Way round connector on your towed vehicle. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Length of Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Nite-Glow # HM47053 referenced in your question stretches up to 8 feet long. The yellow cable itself has a diameter of 7/16 inches. This adapter will allow you to connect the 7-Way on your RV to the 6-Way round connector on your towed vehicle. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Length of Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil 7-Way to 6-Way Trailer Connector Adapter Nite-Glow # HM47053I went to the warehouse to measure the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Nite-Glow, # HM47053, and when stretched, the adapter does indeed measure 8' from the end of the 7-way to the end of the 6-pole connector. 8' is the longest 7-way to 6-pole adapter that we offer.
view full answer... - Recommended Adapter To Use With 6-Pole Round Trailer Connector And 7-Way Truck ConnectorTo use the 6-way round plug on your trailer with the 7-way connector on your truck you can use part # HM47053. This adapter is 8-ft long and also has a Nite-glow feature so it is easy to find the trailer connections in the dark if needed.
view full answer... - Solution for 7-Way to 6-Way Adapter where Vehicle Has Center Pin as 12 Volt PowerThey do not make a 7-way to 6-way adapter like the part # HM47053 that has the center pin as the 12 volt like you are wanting so your best option will be to swap the wires on the 6-way on the front of your Jeep so that you can use this one.
view full answer... - Is The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer 7-Blade to 6-Pin Connector Adapter Missing Center a Pin?The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Nite-Glow # HM47053 does not have a center pin on the 7-way connector since the 6-pin connector does not have a pin for the reverse lights. Since the pin would go to nothing they leave the pin out. It will not affect the use of this adapter.
view full answer... - Difference Between Hopkins Connector Adapter # HM47053 and # HM47054Both the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053 and the Hopkins # HM47054 referenced in your question feature the same 8 foot long, coiled adapter cord that will connect the 7-Way on your RV to the 6-Way round connector on the tow vehicle. The only difference between the two parts is that # HM47054 also includes a 6-Way socket with mounting bracket that you can mount to the vehicle. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also...
view full answer... - Recommended 7-Way to 6-Pole Adaper with 12V Center PinThe round 6-Way end of the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053 referenced in your question does feature a center pin but it is wired for the electric brake signal. If you need the center pin on the 6-Way to be wired for 12 volt power, I instead recommend the Hopkins # HM47083. This heavy-duty, coiled cable adapter can be stretched to 3 feet in length and will allow you to connect the 7-Way on your RV to the 6-Way connector on your towed vehicle or trailer.

First, select the type of connector on the back of the Allegro. You can click on the filters on the page under the heading Vehicle End Plug. Then similarly select the type of connector you need on the trailer end. For instance, if you need an adapter to join a 7-way blade on the Allegro to a 6-way round pin on the trailer then you would use part # HM47570, # HM47053 or one of the other...
view full answer... - Difference Between Coiled 7-way to 6-way Adapters HM47054 and HM47053The difference is the part # HM47054 comes with a 6-way socket and bracket whereas the # HM47053 does not come with those two things and is only the 7-way to 6-way. These are both really solid options that would work well for you.

view full answer... - Availability of Hopkins 7-way to 6-Way Flat Towing Umbilical HarnessesHopkins has a few different 7-way to 6-pin options. For an 8 foot coiled cord that includes the 6-pin connector for the front of the towed vehicle, use part # HM47054. For a straight wire option, also including the 6-pin connector, use part # HM47057 and for the 8 foot coiled extension only, not including the connector for the towed vehicle, use part # HM47053
view full answer... - Coiled Flex Umbilical Cable to Join 7-way on RV to 6-Way on Flat Towed VehicleHopkins offers a flex cable, part # HM47053 that sounds exactly like what you need. On one end, it has the 7-way plug that's compatible with your RV, and a 6-way plug on the other that would plug into your towed vehicle. I'll link you to some of our help articles that contain additional information about flat towing.
view full answer... - Wiring Between RV and Flat Towed Vehicle Pulls Out When TurningIf the distance is too far between the connectors on the motor home and vehicle then a straight cable would not help much unless it was a longer cable. You can try moving the location of the cable so there is enough slack to make turns without it pulling loose. Another option is to extend the 7-Way using something like # C56080. You probably would not need the full 7 feet of length this harness has but it would definitely be enough to prevent the cable from pulling out on turns. Currently,...
view full answer... - Is There an Available 6 Pin Round to 7 Blade AdapterI have a solution for you if the 7 way is on your vehicle and the 6 pole round is on your trailer; for that you could use the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Nite-Glow - 7-Way to 6-Pole - 8' Long # HM47053. However if you've got a vehicle with a 6 round and need to tow a trailer with a 7 way blade style connector then we do not have a solution for you, and I'm not sure that one exists. For that, you would need to switch your vehicle connector to a 7 way using the...

Next, check your ground connections. Ensure that your ground connections are on a good, clean, part of the vehicle's frame. If the connections are loose, or corroded/rusted, the issue is most likely here. If your grounds check out, you'll then want...

But it is 3 feet long. Another option is to use # BX88206 and just take apart the connectors and swap the 12 volt and brake output wires on one end.
