Video Transcript for Hopkins Wiring - Trailer Connectors - HM47210 Review
Today we'll be reviewing part number Hm47210. This is the Hopkins endurance quick qnstall 7-way trailer connector with a universal pigtail harness for the vehicle end. The 7-blade, RV-style trailer connector for your vehicle is a pretty simple install. The pigtail harness just simply hardwires into the truck's existing wiring, and the 7-way connector flows directly into our harness. You just push them together after you've got them lined up right, until you hear them click into place. You do want to be sure that you match up your wires to the correct wires on your vehicle.
The white is going to be our ground wire. Yellow is going to be our left turn. Green is going to be our right turn. Brown is going to be our tail light. Red is going to be the auxiliary power lead.
Blue is going to be our electric break, and purple is going to be the back up or reverse light. The lid does open 180 degrees for easy connections. It's also going to help keep out dirt and moisture. This does have enhanced weather proofing with the internal seals and currosion-resistant terminals. It comes from a durable, AVS plastic with an over-sized lid hinge. The mounting screws and the grease are included.
Our mounting screws are separated by an inch-and-a-half here on the side, and two-and-one-quarter inches here on the bottom. You're going to have a mounting of one-and-a-half-inch by two-and-a-quarter-inch. That's going to complete today's review of part number Hm47210, the Hopkins Endurance quick install 7-way trailer connector. .

Overall, I was very impressed by this connector. I used it as an in-bed connector for my gooseneck trailers. The plug seems to be a quality product, engineered to stand up to some abuse. I like how the mounting bolt heads recess into the connector and also how the bottom of the connector is elongated to help support the weight of the plug and wiring. I think it has a great shot at lasting for a very long time. The hinge is predominately plastic that will not corrode and break like the many I've had in the past.

Good solid plastic lid. Very easy to install. Drilled 2 1/4 hole in bumper and used 1 1/4 self tapping screws to fasten it.

Purchased Rv trailer socket for "in bed" installation in my Ram truck. Installation went smoothly and etrailer videos were most helpful in visualizing the install. Product works as described and ordering and delivery were on schedule. Thanks for the great service!

Although I have just installed this I believe it to be very good quality and it should last a long time based on my inspection of it. Be sure to order a mounting bracket if you don't already have one as this unit doesn't come with a bracket. Hopkins bracket part # is 48615. I like the fact that the harness plugs into the connector instead of having to strip and connect every wire into the connector individually. That should help inhibit corrosion which is the #1 cause of trailer electrical issues and it makes things much easier if I have to replace the connector later.

I had the loose wire pigtail already under my f250 sd. I clipped the factory sealant off the end of the wires on the truck, stripped em back and attached with heat seal butt connectors. You will need the blue and yellow connectors as the factory wires are different gauges. Etrailer has excellent how-to videos and detailed information about all their products it seems. It made buying and installing the right parts a breeze. They do the homework for you, their prices are better than most other online retailers and they ship fast. They earned my repeat business.

This connector is just want I was looking for. It gives me a way to power my trailer via an external battery. I have attached battery clips to the leads. The construction is solid, and the documentation for each lead is excellent. For my cargo trailer, I use the lead for the running lights. For my travel trailer, I use the lead called accessories, I think.

Exactly what I needed for less than half the price a local dealer quoted for purchase ($44, not including installation! He also wouldn't sell me just the kit, for the kit with installation he wanted over $100!) Do it yourself and save a bundle - make a few simple wire connections and plug and go - etrailer.com makes it quick and easy! Shipping is prompt.

The item with a good layout of color coding where to install was awesome. I installed and plug in to my boat trailer and tested ... everything works in correct light function. I will do business again with your company. Keep it up.

Quick and easy to install. Just splice wires( I use the shrink type connectors). No messing around trying to get wires under screws. And if the plug connector ever gets broke, all you have to replace is the connector. The wires are in a waterproof housing that unplugs from connector.

by: Mike Y08/18/2017
works just as intended. Install was easy, I did not use the included bracket because it would hang below the bumper. I mounted it inside the well on the bumper where you would put a bumper hitch. It is used only about once a month. I did have to run a brake controller wire because my truck was not equipped with it. 13 f150 xl

Product is great and easy to install. I only wish it would have come with the crimp connectors and heat shrink however that was my fault for selecting the wrong product.

Well made product. Will need to purchase mounting hardware and splicing material. Wire colors matched standard chevrolet wire colors with the exception of the backup/reverse which is purple on the pigtail vice light green on my truck.

I have purchased from etrailer several times and the products have always been as described. They ship fast and the products are packaged well. I hit my wiring harness on a log and needed to replace it. etrailer was less money then the auto stores and I did not have to drive 28 miles into Durango and back. Gas prices make online purchases great. Thank You for being in business. Charlie S Vallicito, Colorado

- Can 7-Way Be Added to Freightliner Semi TruckWe can help with a basic 7-way and wiring but we do not have anything that's going to actuate ABS brakes. You can hardwire in a 7-Way, # HM47210 though. For this 7-Way the white wire is ground, yellow is left turn signal and brake lights, green is right turn signal and brake lights, brown is the tail light wire, red is auxiliary power, blue is output to electric brakes, and purple is reverse lights. If the turn signals and brake lights are not combined on the same circuits then instead...

- Converting a Semi 7-Way Trailer Connector to an RV 7-Way Trailer ConnectorThere are a number of factors involved when converting a semi 7-way to an RV 7-way. Semis generally use a 7-pin round pin socket, similar to # PK11720. And RV style 7-way uses blades, like # PK12706. We do not offer any pre-made adapters to make this conversion that will carry all of the electrical functions required by the RV. Another thing to be aware of is fifth wheel trailers use a combined wiring system where the brake lights and turn signals are on circuit. Your semi connector...

- How to Change Out 4-Way at Rear of Motorhome to Work with 7-Way on TrailerThank you for the pictures! What you may be able to do is install the Hopkins # HM47210 on your motorhome to replace your current 4-Way round connector. I'm guessing the 2 wires for your brake controller system are for 12V power and for the brake controller signal. If this is the case then you will need to connect the following functions on your motorhome wiring with the following wires from the Hopkins connector: White - Ground Yellow - Left Stop/Turn Green - Right Stop/Turn Brown...

Then you would need to ground the white wire to a clean, bare-metal surface on your trailer and run some 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 from the Red wire on this connector to your battery. Even though this would work it wouldn't be as clean as just hardwiring your battery into the 12V Power circuit on your trailer....

- 7-Way Wiring Harness for 2015 Ford F-150There is a simple solution for you, but there is no trick to getting the wires of the # 118283 back out since the wires are different gauges due to the brown wire being for the right turn/stop functions and the blue wire being for the trailer brakes. What you can do is cut off the 7-way on the # 118283 and replace it with 7-way connector # HM47210 that has a pigtail; you'll only need butt connectors # DW05745-5 and # DW05744-5 to connect your splices.

The Pigtail of the # HM47210 unplugs from the pigtail, and the # 41157 would plug inline between the pigtail and the 7-way connector as shown in the photo I've edited for you. If you click the provided link, you can see the # 41157 being installed on a 2011 Ram truck.

- Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2015 Ford ExpeditionFirst check under your 2015 Ford Expedition for a round connector, perhaps in the vicinity of the frame rail or spare tire, that could plug into the round connector on 4- and 7-Way # C55774. If that connector is present under the vehicle then you just have to plug it into the 20119 and then mount the connector. If you do not have that connector but have a 4-Way then you will have to hardwire in the 7-Way and brake controller using # ETBC7.

- Can Hopkins 7-Way part # HM47210 be Installed on Trailer and Connect to Trailer BatteryYes, what you described is very common and would work well. The part # HM47210 that you referenced can have it's 12 volt power circuit wire ran to a trailer battery that is powering an electric tongue jack. People do this all the time and it works very well. Or if you wanted to use a pin on this connector as a different way to connect wiring to a battery that's possible as well.

- Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector on 1999 Explorer w/ 12-Volt Power Circuit for Trailer BatteryTo install a 7-way trailer connector on your Explorer, you'd first need a functioning 4-pole. If you don't have a 4-pole, you can install one using part # 118345. At this point, you'll need to decide if you need the 7-way to provide the lighting and battery circuits only to the trailer, or if you need to install a brake controller on the Explorer as well. If you just need the lighting and battery feed circuit, you can use an adapter like part # 37185. The adapter would plug into your...

On the # HM47210 connector that's the purple wire. It connects to your truck's reverse lights or if you don't need it you don't need to make that connection.
