Switching between trailers with different connectors can be a hassle. This Curt adapter bridges a 7-way RV blade plug to a 5-flat trailer plug using a 96" cord, giving you the reach and flexibility to tow right away. It connects directly without rewiring or splicing, saving time every time you hook up.
If your setup only has lighting functions through a 4-way, this adapter lets you upgrade. The fifth circuit of the 5-way can be run to the positive battery post to provide a maintenance charge while towing. It’s an easy way to keep a towed vehicle’s battery topped off without extra wiring work.
Durability matters on the road. The plug-and-lead construction keeps the cord secure and well-protected from wear, while tight-fitting connectors hold steady over bumps and turns. That means consistent power for lights and charging with less worry about loose connections.
The 96" lead gives enough length to route cleanly between vehicles or tow systems without strain. That extra reach helps prevent tension on the plugs and keeps wiring tidy, even across longer setups or when clearance space is tight.

Ellen : Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com where we're taking a quick look at the Curt Wiring Adapter. This is going to go from a seven pole, or an RV style connector, to a five way flat. So if that's what you have on the back of your vehicle, and you need to connect to your trailer, this is going to be the adaptor to get you there.It measures out about 96 inches when you fully stretch it out. But that coil design is going to help to keep the excess off the ground. So as you stretch it out, it's not going to just be dragging on the ground and getting marred up or scraped or anything like that.So we'll take a closer look and I'll show you those terminals, so you can make sure that this is the right fit for you. Now, our seven blade would normally have seven functions, but since it's only going to our five wires, that's all the functions that we're going to get from this.And those five functions are going to be your stop, or your brake signal, your turn, so left and right, running lights, reverse signal as well.And again, just corresponds with the terminals on the other side.
The ends are molded plastic construction, so that helps keep corrosion down. Although the terminals inside are metal, so it's a good idea to use some dielectric grease and get those down into the connectors to help create a water barrier. It just helps to cut down on any kind of corrosion on those terminals, helps keep it lasting longer and working better for many years to come.That's pretty much all there is to it for our quick look at the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter. I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is the right one for you. We do have a lot of other trailer and hitch accessories here at etrailer.com, lots of wiring stuff as well.
And it's always our goal to get you the best information possible so you can make the right choice the first time.So again, I hope this video is helpful in that regard. Thanks for watching..

Heavy duty cord. Just the right length. Works perfectly.
Perfect for my need of boat trailer to a Tahoe.
The product works great, I had to cut the one end off in order to connect to the other wires. If there would’ve been one without that part on it just the wires I would’ve gave a five star.
Exactly what I needed for my 2015 RangerTrail boat trailer (Model SF4500)
