Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole
Great service. My questions were promptly answered as which wiring kit would fit my 2004 grand Cherokee without having to fabricate wire connectors and such. They gave me several options and explained the differences between them. It made my decision easier . I received my kit sooner than i expected. I haven't installed them yet, because I still have to put the hitch on, but I am sure it will be basically a plug and play deal. I would recommend etrailer to everyone just in the service alone. Thanks guys.
Ordered on a Sunday, arrived on a Thursday. Fit my Jeep Grand Cherokee like a charm. Easy to install. I just welded the bracket to my hitch.

Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable - Trailer End - 8' Long - RV Standard
Professional looking wiring...love it!
7 pin connector separated from cable. I was expecting that "Molded Cable" meant that the connector was fused to the cable insulation but instead, the two separated almost immediately after I installed it. It still works fine as the wires are connected securely inside the connector but with the outer covering pulled out like this, I don't think it will last very long.

Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way to 6-Way, 5-Way or 4-Way
looks like advertised iv not used it yet
My '92 GMC Sierra had a 6-pin trailer harness connector and I'm going to be pulling a pop-up camper in a few weeks that has a 7-pin connector. I originally ordered a 47435 6-Pole to 7-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter. After thinking about it for a day I changed my mind and ordered a HM48470 Hopkins Endurance Multi-tow 7-way, 5 & 4-wire Flat Connector to mount in the bumper and a HM47570 Hopkins Endurance Multi-tow Connect Adapter - 7-way To 6-way, 5-way and 4-way. The HM48470 will allow me to pull the pop-up as well as giving me the 4-wire flat connector that I need for my boat trailer. I bought the HM47570 adapter just to cover all the trailer wiring needs I might run into. I really like the fact that the 47570 adapter has the quick change plug to cover both wiring arrangements for 6-pin trailer connectors. I placed the original order Saturday evening and the second order Sunday afternoon. Monday morning, I called etrailer.com to try to cancel the first order and was told that both orders were already boxed and on the way the shipper. I had no idea that they had people there to pull and box orders on the weekend. I asked about returning the first order when it arrived and was told by Helen M that it would be no problem at all. I have been extremely pleased with my purchase experience with etrailer.com. Everyone I spoke with there was very knowledgeable and I will not hesitate to go directly to them for my trailer and towing needs in the future.

Adapter 4-Pole to 5-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter - Shorter
Arrived quickly. I didn’t need to wire the extra lead to my reverse lights because my trailer doesn’t have surge brakes or backup lights. Simply plug and play.
Perfect for converting 4 wire Ford Expedition trailer harness and boat trailer to 5 wire. The Expedition had a backup wire run to the area of the 4 wire plug so made the conversion easy.

Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
Great product - the overall depth is a bit deep and for my specific application I had some challenges finding a good mounting point (partially due to the depth of the adapter and partly due to the lack of solid mounting surface. The product itself is sold with a flexible five/four way plug (single plug accommodates both the four and five pin) that will not easily break. The seven pin plug has a fairly stiff cover that is spring loaded. Wiring was simple too!
Works great and etrailer folks did an outstanding job with quick turnaround and communication…thank you!

Hopkins Active Tail Light Converter with Install Kit
I received this product the other day and went to work installing it on my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. This was done outdoors on a sunny 90 plus degree day on [the driveway]. Prior to buying I had read the online instructions and, more importantly, watched an installation video. The video was a huge help and the kit was very easy to install. The snap splice connectors work like a charm. I used extra zip ties I had to secure the power line in place as I routed it down the passenger side of the Jeep. Hook up to the battery terminal was easy. I did not have a circuit tester to check the individual wires to ID their function but since their colors exactly matched the video, I decided to take my chances. It worked out great. Installation of the power wire would be easier on a lift but I don’t have one installed in my driveway so it entailed crawling under the
Excellent. The only down side for my Lexus RX300 was not having an “easy” way to mount male 4-way next to hitch rather than stowing it beside tire bay. No big deal just a plus.

Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Blade
It took awhile to receive my order, but I was informed by e-mail and was kept informed when I should expect delivery. Luckily, was in no rush, so I would reply and wait for an update from you. i received the connector in good condition. Thank you!
Installation went well and works fine. Only issue was the screws included with the product were not the right ones so had to replace which wasn't a big deal.

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector - 3' Long
I've had this in use for over a year and they don't build them like they use to. I use this on a gooseneck trailer and the piece of plastic behind the spade connector for the clearance lights and brakes has melted, allowing the spade connector to lose contact with the plug on the pickup. So the lights would cut off in the middle of the night and would have to wiggle the connection till I could fix it. I have an older Hopkins plug and never had this problem. To fix the problem I ended up putting pieces of thin copper wire behind the spade and have done it twice since the plastic melted a 2nd time and once again the trailer clearance lights would quit working. Attached are before and after pictures.
After a year doing its job well.

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 4' Long
When I ordered this harness I thought I was getting a standard 7 way for a conventional trailer with brakes. What I actually got was a harness made for a camper/RV hook up. The wires have all the colors you would expect but all the lights/turn signals are coded into the plug completely different. After spending a good deal of time carefully matching, soldering and heat shrinking all connections to my new trailer harness, I was very dismayed to find only the brakes actually worked. After a bit of research I found a schematics page on the etrailer site and discovered the problem. As this is a molded plug I could not take it apart and just reposition the wires inside the plug. Another full hour or more of rewiring followed and now all is well. The harness itself is of very good quality but was not labeled/identified properly. This could have been prevented if etrailer would clearly label this harness as a camper/RV harness only.
Ordered 1/28 - showed shipped 2/1 with estimated delivery date of 2/6. It had a USPS tracking number that would only show the label was created. Never showed the product moved. After two contacts with customer service I was told they can't track the package until a certain date. I was notified 2/17 my package would be delivered that day. Not sure what contract etrailer has with USPS but I can track a tin of cookies to Pittsburgh, PA I think they can tell me where my $[XX] package of parts is at.

Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design
I am not much of a creative writer, so I will make this short. Service, shipping, follow-up emails all excellent. Product just what I ordered.
Well I wasn't able to use this as there was no good place to install on my car without it practically dragging. Not a product problem at all. I tried to return and customer service was fast and super helpful... unfortunately return shipping would eat up any refund. So.. I get to keep it. good quality and product. Very happy with it and wish I could use it. Will keep it for sometime in the future when of course I will need it.

Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole and 4 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter
This adapter really cleaned up the installation and connected directly to the wiring harness. Maybe added an additional 20 mins to install this adapter but totally worth the time and money.
II use it on my towed vehicle behind the motor home. It allows me to take motor home power to a trickle charger in the towed vehicle and connect to the towed vehicle wiring. The four prong receptacle provides outlet to be used if there is ever in need for a four prong fitting good.

Adapter 7-Pole to 6-Pole - Universal
We had been having trouble with our other adapters, no brakes or intermittent brakes. This adapter fits better than any of the others ever have, great connection and is holding tight. I will be picking up some more of these. The only downside to me was they came on the value shipping which is rather delayed for us and I would rather pay to get it here more quickly. I was needing it and it was several days getting here. We ship a lot and I know shipping directly with USPS goes faster than that and is not expensive.
Added the gooseneck trailer plug in bed and I wanted to be compatible with new and old style plugs. Adapor worked great.

7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long
Only gave 4 stars because it was a bit confusing. I have a lot of auto wiring experience; from car stereos,amplifiers and all manner of accessories. All of the info on etrailer indicated that the color coding didn't match up. So I went into it disregarding the standard color coding, when in fact it was just as it should be.
Good thick rubber and plug works perfectly.

48" Long 4-Pole Loop with Cover
The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers. On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.
I have now installed the following on my 2017 Wrangler: Brake light relay kit . Hopkins Towed vehicle Tail Light wiring kit. Blue Ox base plate. Blue Ox Patriot Portable RF Braking System. All of this has taken about 3 days of work spread out over a week or so. Overall it went well. Not too many surprises. Crawling around under a car at 71 is a bit of a strain but I'll get over it. I must say that Donna P. has been a wonderful source of great information and has stayed right on top of the process. eTrailer has been a great source for this project. I would recommend you all with no hesitation.

Adapter 6-Pole to 7-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter
I t seemed like this was the perfect solution for connecting the 6 pole on our 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee to our two horse trailer (7 blade); but when we hooked it up the left turn signal did nothing and the right turn signal set off the flashers. Turning the flashers on in the Jeep also turned on the flashers; the running lights and brake lights worked ok. I switched some of the wires but nothing seemed to change. I'd like to put a 7 blade connector on the Jeep but can't get the existing 6 pole connector off, and even if I'm able I don't know how to tell which wire is for which function. I'm guessing the Jeep wiring is not standard? I think it's time to turn to a local shop in hopes they can get us working.
I was needing a trailer wiring adapter for my 2001 Dodge 1 ton with DewEze bale bed which has a 6 pin round electrical plug and my PJ trailer has a 6 pin flat plugin connector. I could not find one locally and nobody had any knowledge about these. I found etailer website but needed help figuring out what adapter I needed, Jameson C replied to my email with information I needed. Placed my order and received adapter in 3 days. Plugged it into truck and trailer and it works great. Thanks Jameson C and etrailer. Very good customer service. Good price and received quickly. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - Ergonomic Design
The product arrived in a timely manner and undamaged. I have not used this 5 pole adapter yet, but the 4 pole adapter I previously bought from etrailer years ago is still working great. I have no reason to doubt that this adapter will function equally well. I appreciate the good products and customer service from Etrailer.
I needed the extra wire to run for multi-led lights mounted underneath the steps at the rear of my trailer, when in reverse trailering. This connector seems heavier-duty compared to many on the market and so far is still working well after a year or more. As with most products from etrailer, I haven't been let down yet. Here's a real special GOTCHA moment I had recently; My trailer jack stand, which I had purchased from my well-known and popular local trailer company to replace my original had rusted to pieces. I needed a replacement quickly and trusted I'd get a decent product and price as had been the norm over many years. Anyway, I purchased the new jack and wheel and brought them home to install myself. Upon taking the jack out of the bag it came in, I noticed a sticker from etrailer, yea. Before installing I went online, saw that my jack was less than half the cost I'd just paid, and realized I should have purchased the jack when I had originally shopped online at the start of this replacement process. I could have returned my over-priced items but decided I didn't have the time due to procrastination. I decided they could keep their extra profit on this purchase but I won't get fooled again and my local shop has lost my trust.

Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights - Trailer End
Nice product & good value imo--it's very beefy and appears to be heavy duty---I know these are supposed to be temporary---that said this one replaced a Reese connector connector exact same style w/LEDs that was almost 17 years old before it failed--hopefully this lasts even close to that amount of time--I don't use this trailer daily usually not even weekly---so maybe with commercial trailer use this connector isn't for you..... It's my considered opinion that many of the fails are the result of a lousy install or someone disconnecting by pulling on the harness INSTEAD of grabbing the connector either way this gets an A+ from me
This is perfect. I needed an easy way to change the connector on the trailer I'm working on. It was an old pop up camper with an 8 pin connector mounted on the frame. but I only needed a 4 after rewiring it. So, out with the old and in with the new! Plus it's really easy to connect all the wires. Picture is not of the new connector but of the whole project I'm working on. I've since mounted all the running lights, tail lights etc.

Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way to 5-Wire Flat/4-Wire Flat and 12-V Power Socket
Good solid unit that I expect to last a lifetime. I purchased this unit primarily to provide a charging port for a float charger. The idea being that if I forget about it or if someone else drives my truck and is unaware that it is connected, it will easily disconnect when the vehicle is driven away.
Perfect! I use the 4 flat for my boat trailer lights and the +12v I've wired to charge the boat battery as I drive to and from where ever I'm fishing; brilliant!
What our customers are saying:
"You folks are fast. Thank you very much."
