Question:

I have a Roadtmaster 9700 and a motor home which already has a pollack 6 pin connector, cable and new connector with boot for the car side. I will be buying these three kits to connect up breaking, lights and monitor RM-98800, RM 155, RM-98850 will I be able to run all the wiring through the pollack 6 pin connector going to the motorhome and if so do you have diagram or instruction to explain.

Expert Reply:

If you use the ground pin for all of the grounds from # RM-98850, # RM-98800, and # RM-155 then a 6-Way connector could handle the lighting, RV monitoring light, and one other function for a total of 6 functions (including the ground). The lights will use 3 pins, the grounds will use one, and the monitoring light will use 1 for a total of 5 functions leaving one function for something else.

There isn't a specific wiring diagram for this set up but I have included a picture that shows how a 6-Way connector is usually wired.
