Question:

I have a 1999 Ford F-150 xteneded cab short box with flat wiring connector at hitch. I mounted a Lance camper with round 6 flat round Pollak plug. Now Im trying to figure out how to run a connection between this plug and the flat wire plug at hitch. The camper has trailer lights and brake lights and also has its own battery and I will need a battery isolator under the hood. Please advise what I should buy from you to connect the two. Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:

Sounds like you have a 4-way connector at the rear of your 1999 Ford F-150 and are looking for a way to install a 6-way so that you can power the camper you have that has a Pollak 6-way like the part # PK11604.

For an adapter you would want the part # A10-6034VP. This will plug into the 4-way and will convert the taillight signal to a 6-way. To activate the power circuit for the camper battery you will need to run the black wire from this adapter to the positive post of the truck battery with 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), through a circuit breaker like part # PK54240PL.

For an isolation solenoid you would want the part # PK5231201. The center pole will run to a keyed power source and the two pins on either side will install in line with the 12 volt circuit.
