Question:

Do you have a 7 RV blade to 5 wire flat converter for a trailer with electrical brakes? Most catalog entries do not specify if the 5 wire flat side is wired for electrical brakes or reverse lights.

All of the 7-way to 5-way adapter we carry are going to have the 5th circuit be for the reverse lights since that is the most common use for it.

Your best option is going to be to replace the 5-way on your trailer with a 7-way. Trying to make an adapter would be a bit of a hassle and wouldn't be a great permanent solution. For that you could use the # A7WCB. Check out the install video I attached as well.
