Adapt the 7-way trailer socket on your vehicle to work with a 4-way or 5-way flat connector on the trailer. Adapter also provides a 12-volt power source outlet. Great for tailgating.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!
Love it gives me power where I need it
Easy to insert in female recepticle. Fits 12volt plug on my thermoelectric cooler which is main reason I purchased it.
The weight of the large head does allow the large end to sag down slightly. Since I bought it to run my portable cooler in the bed of our pickup truck while we travel, I am hopefull that vibrations don't allow it to fall out. Even though it has a small tab to catch on recepticle cover, I'll probably secure it to the door of my female recepticle with tape or a bungie cord to avoid loosing it on the road.
Plan on using it first time next week on trip to VA.

Just fine, On a trip now and using it frequently when were in transit.
Plugging this into my 7 pin pickup electrical outlet, I can tow anything from my utility trailer to my motorcycle trailer and not have to concern myself with checking the wiring to figure out how to get lights on different types of trailer configurations to work.

Ditto On The Original Comment. Mud, dusst, multiple vehicle washes and there still are no changes to the system. Still works like a champ.
Solid and very well constructed. When attempting to use it in my 2017 F-250, I did not have 12V in the unit. After much angst, I determine that Ford did not install a 30 Amp fuse in spot 27 in the electrical distribution box. That circuit supplies the 12V needed to charge a battery on your trailer while driving. Heading to the dealer tomorrow to have them answer some questions. Product is solid. Recommend getting one it you are in the market

The 12-volt accessory circuit to the 7-way is frequently referred to as a charge circuit, but due to the small diameter of the wire feeding the 7-way and the distance from the alternator to the battery on the trailer, theres not going to be enough amperage through the circuit to charge a trailer battery. Itll maintain a charged battery, but wont charge one once its been discharged.

product works fine. However, the F-250 will not supply power to that receptacle until it detects a trailer attached to the truck.
I purchased this adapter for my 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad. It fits well and the door engages the plug tab, holding it firmly in place. I haven't hooked up the trailer yet, but did test the 12 volt outlet. It worked well on the shop light (10 watt LED) that I had on-hand.

Still working well. I dont leave it plugged in 24/7, and the new truck F150 has a flat four built it, but everything works as effectively.
Very easy to install. Just had to remove the access cover on the drivers side and plug in the connector, then run the wire into the spare tire well. When towing simply take the wire out of the spare tire well and run it out the rear hatch.
I needed a 7 plug adapter and couldn't find one locally. Really like the added feature of the 12v plus this will convert 4 or 5 flat pin plug. Lotta bang for your buck. I paid for expedited shipping and everything around perfectly.

Awesome
Works perfectly on 2023 Honda Ridgeline RTE-E truck. It goes on loose but is held securely in place by the connector cover.
We purchase from you the Hopkins wiring harness and can not be happier with it.
My wife's 2017 Honda ridgeline came equipped with the receptacle that ur plug was equipped for.
we keep it in the glove compartment for when we need to use the trailer for mulch.
Thanks for reaching out to us, but rest assured it works tip top, as billed.
Its nice when the internet and products ON IT work.
Be well and thanks for a great gizmo
This product works well for my application of needing to use a flat 5 connector. So far it has stayed in the 7 pin connector on a Tundra because the cover lowers onto the adapter's ridges on the top of the adapter. I only gave it 4 stars because the little plastic nub on the 4/5 connector door either arrived broken or broke after the first time I used it. To etrailer's credit they shipped out a new one very quickly. I have opened and closed that door 5 times without damage so I hope it continues without breaking. I have not tried the 12V power socket yet.
Product will allow me to have 12V access at he back of the Motorhome for utilities and emergencies. It fit in the plug same way as my 7 to 4 old plug adapter.

It is attached to the MH fulltime. Has endured the elements and responded well to all connections. Protective cap keeps contacts like new, reducing failure.
Wonderful product works great for my trailors and use it to use my compressor to inflate my tires on trailor or another car if it needs it. Super product love your products great quality.

Great item very useful tool for tailgating, very great item to own. Very reliable.
This item plus the extension cable I bought allowed me to have power going from my motorhome to the battery of my CRV to power up my brake buddy, while having my tow lights operating. Made things much easier on the 2k mile trip I just took.
Terrific product(s)! Appeared and functioned as described online. I ordered this 7-way adapter (HM47675) to power a portable 12v air compressor (WC2592 ) to inflate rear suspension air bags remotely. After some very helpful and timely assistance from Michael H. in the EXPERTS department of eTrailer, I am up and "airing".
This is a handy converter to have around if you need a 12v connector on the back of your car, or obviously to tow something with a 4/5 flat if your vehicle doesn't have both installed. My car had aftermarket wiring done and it was easier to wire the vehicle for the 7-way and put in an adapter if needed.
Worked fine converting to both 5 & 4 way trailer plugs. Fit seemed a bit loose in the 7way connector that came on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma but once the connector spring cover comes down it feels secure.
the multi tow trailer connnector is exactly what i needed . not only did it replace my old one but this one is a 3 in 1 . with the 12volt outlet plug that it has i can run my smoker when we go camping .
Works great, the 12 volt power outlet is a nice extra that has power all the time.

Works great, I move it from one truck to the other weekly. Gonna order another right now.
The HM47570 and the HM47675 Adapters are an absolute must to have when you tow multiple different types of trailers.
Another advantage that I personally like is to use the HM47570 to keep from wearing out my 4&5 plug on my Ford truck.
These Adapters are built tough to last.
I love the flexibility that this converter provides. It worked on my Honda Ridgeline and my GMC Yukon (including the 12V power socket) without modification.
Bought this for a trip to plug in a cooler on a hitch rack carrier for a long drive. Kept the cooler running and the food cold during the drive. Holds tight in the 7pole plug.
connector works good, Just be aware some times it takes several weeks to get your parts. website will say parts are in stock; when in fact the aare drop shipped from another company. i have 2 parts that are awaiting to be shiipped. It has been over 2 weeks and no shipping status. May not order from here again.
Product is great. Delivered extremely fast. etrailer.com has become my go to place to order items needed for our new 5th wheel. The customer service, website and shipping confirmation is the best around. Definitely a customer for life.

This heavy-duty trailer connector socket has an outlet for 7-way, 5-way and 4-way flat plugs. A weatherproof, insulated lid covers the terminals. The cover is also easy to open and extra-durable.Installed the Hopkins muti-tow 7, 5, and 4 way flat connector this morning. I ripped the original connector that was attached to the bottom of the hitch receiver off when I was 4-wheeling into the Doll House campgrounds in the Maze District of Canyonlands a month ago. So, I cut a hole in the bumper and mounted the new Hopkins connector, cut off the old broken connector mounting bracket, and connected the factory wiring to the new Hopkins device. Hopkins product installed easily, looks great, is now out of the way, and has the flexibility of multiple trailer connectors when required.
I am pleased with the product. Attached is a photo.
Exactly what we had been looking for. Now I can hook up multiple trailers with different connectors and all the electrics on each trailer works. I mounted mine directly to the receiver hitch frame. The biggest challenge for us was routing the backup wire from the taillight housing, through the body of the truck to the connector. the rest went together fairly easily. Seems to be pretty solid and looks much better than the loose pigtail connector it replaced.
I received the product quickly and in perfect condition the packing was excellant. I installed the connector easily and quickly. I consulted the Gm wiring diagram and als found the wires for all the 7 connections. I had a tight spot within the bumper edge, but managed to find short bolts to attach the bracket in old exsisting holes. The rest was easy attaching the connectors and making sure all wires were through the rear enclosure and tightening them down. I tested the 4 wire connector with my boat trailer lights and it worked like it was designed to do. I LOVE the versatility of this connector. Thanks etrailer.com!! Great product at a great price.

Installation of the plug was a quick and easy. The existing Warrior hitch has a tab on the side for a trailer wiring socket. Drill a new hole on the installation bracket (comes with the trailer connector) so the bracket on the hitch matches bracket on the trailer connector. Done deal. This is the only trailer connector I found which has the 7, 5 and 4 connector options. Flexibility is always a good idea when you are borrowing someone else trailer or renting.
This is a Great product ! I built a trailer tester which is self powered and pretty much self explanatory on the way it operates. Using this connector gives the flexibility or connecting to a 4,5 or 7 way plug !
I had broken my factor connector on my 06 Tacoma, frankly due to a poor design placement by Toyota in my opinion, however I was not going to pay a premium $200+ price for a new OEM part and I wasn't planning to place it back in the original spot to only get broken again. This is a great replacement plus I no longer need a wire adapter. The unit fit perfectly in pre-cut hole that held my left tag light. Only had to drill 4 small holes for the bolts to secure to the bumper. Only pain was cutting the old wire and attaching it to the new connector, but that only took 10 minutes top.
Works great and etrailer folks did an outstanding job with quick turnaround and communication…thank you!
This Hopkins 7,5, and 4-way trailer cord socket was delivered quickly and fits my needs for all my trailers. It came with all fasteners and complete instructions in the package and etrailer videos. I recommend this product and etrailer.com as a vendor.
I ordered the Tekonsha Electric trailer brake control and the Hopkins connector. It met my expectations. And easy installation. I have ordered from etrailer several times and they are professional in every way.
I used this to complete the factory 5th wheel wiring in my 2015 Silverado 3500HD. Gives me a professional installation for my 5th wheel RV.
Great product! Install on a Jeep for off-road with a trailer and so far so good!!!
Great product fast delivery
This is my second one in a 10 yr timefr ame.
This seems to be a pretty nice plug. Makes it nice with the 4 way and 7 all in one. The lid has a pretty stout spring on it so it should keep the weather out. Fast shipping excellent service.
Build quality seems better than the base Hopkins product I had used before. Installed it in a mounting box (18159) on my Curt round tube hitch.
The connector interfaces very well with my XC90 and there is no drilling or advanced skills needed. Everything went together very well.
Works good. Put it on my 1 ton project.
I could not find a 7 round with a 5 flat connector anywhere in San Diego. Most of the people I spoke with at trailer shops or RV stores said no one makes it only with a 4 flat connector. I just kept looking because I needed one with a 5 flat for my boat and didn't want to keep using my adaptor.
I found etrailer and the rep I spoke with was very knowledgeable and said he had exactly what I was looking for and it was a great price. I will be always using etrailer for my trailer parts for now on.
Thank you,

Still working Great
Easy to install, worked perfectly.
Good product. 5 pin cover could fit tighter, but over all makes trailer wire hook up easy and trouble free. No more searching for adapters.

It's a connector!
We got this connector to wire our small teardrop with an RV 7-blade for underway charging and reverse lights. It's well built, seals well when not in use, and does its job just fine. We did not lube the contacts, but so far no visible corrosion. The 4/5 flat connector is a nice bonus - keeps us from needing to carry along an adapter.
If you're installing it in a new location there are two things to remember: make sure you have enough depth at the installation point to allow wiring to run clear, and use a REAL bimetal hole saw if you're installing it in a metal bumper.
Would use again.
This receptacle should come standard on all pickups and SUVs!! The seals keep out almost all of the water and grime. The spring-loaded cover acts as somewhat of a keeper for whatever plug is inserted in the large receptacle. The versatility of hooking up to old and new boat trailers, plus any equipment trailer the local rental yard can throw at me, is amazing! I still carry a couple of adapters, but never need them. Installation takes about 15 minutes. Be sure to use the included terminal grease.
This plug is awesome! Using the bottom 5 pin plug on the bottom plug works great on my utility Trl, the other plug I have wired for my other trailer with brakes, it definitely works great with no adapter's no matter what the trailer on mine I'm pulling, would definitely recommend this if you need a great plug!
The Trailer plugin was a replacement for a cheaper one, that was mounted below the bumper, next to the tow hitch. This one is mounted in the bumper, between the license plate lamp and the license plate, out of the way of being damaged. Great plugin. ( but drilling the bumper was a pain, but worth every bit of time). This is my third order from E-trailer. Great Service and looking forward to my next order.
Trailer light connector arrived in a reasonable time and is as represented. I will like the convenience of having both the flat and RV style plugs, but it does make the receptacle a bit bulkier than just an RV connector. For me, finding a suitable mounting location that will not put it as the lowest thing in back is often a challenge. I don't like making big holes in the bumper, esp. on my pristine old truck bumper. etrailer used to offer a connector box that secured to the hitch square tube with a hose clamp. I bought one for use on a motorhome and it worked well, but I could not find it offered any more.

I have now used this connector for a year and am very happy with it. It has been used as a charging port as well as a useful power port for air pumps etc and as an adaptor for 4 wire trailers. It is a solid unit and I feel this will continue in good service for many years. I would definitely recommend this connector.
