Question:
I have a 2010 Tacoma with a 4 prong male connector I just purchased a 2015 little guy camper with 7 prong female connector. The reason Im asking this Question is the 7 prong will actually charge battery while towing! What parts will I need to make this happen?

Expert Reply:
The adapter you need is the part # 37185. This will allow you to plug your vehicle 4-way into the adapter 4-way and give you a 7-way with functional taillight circuits.
Now to allow the vehicle to put a maintenance charge on the trailer battery you will need to run a ten gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) from the black wire of the adapter to the positive post of the battery through a circuit breaker like part # 9510.
