The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 requires a fully functional 7-way trailer connector with active power in order operate. A 4-way will not supply the needed power circuit. The 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit part # ETBC7L is exactly what you will want to use. This kit comes with the 4 to 7-way adapter plug as well as the power wire, circuit breaker, and wire connectors that is needed. I have attached a sample install video for you as well to assist.
