For your 2017 Heartland Bighorn 3970rd, you will want to first add a 4-way trailer connector using the Tekonsha 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252 which will use quick splice connectors to capture signal from your trailer tail lights on either side. Then you can use the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 for your Jeep wiring to make it compatible. If you need further recommendations for your Jeep flat towing system, let me know. I've attached an article to assist.

If you want a 7-way connection at the trailer bumper, then I recommend adding adapter # 37185 so you can also splice into the 12V power of your trailer to pass that along to your Jeep if desired. You can simply use # 10-1-1 sold by the foot for that function.
