Question:

This part is 4-way connection wiring kit. I dont see 7-way wiring kit. Since this kit runs a wire to battery, does this mean I can just use an adapter to get a fully functinonal 7-way connection. I have a pop-up camper that has a battery that need the 7-way connection.

You would not be able to share the power wire of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56342 for also powering the 12 volt accessory of a 7-way like the part # 37185. But I have a similar solution that would be just as easy.

Instead you'd want to run the double bonded wire part # 10-2-1 (sold by the foot) to the battery of the vehicle and then attach both leads to the battery post and you'll essentially have run "one" wire to power both the converter of the 4-way and the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way.

I attached a couple help articles that will have a bit more info on this for you to check out as well.
