Question:

I dont think that this product will stretch long enough to connect my rv 7 way to my jeep liberty 4 flat tow bar wiring kit with my roadmaster falcon tow bar extended . Can I get coiled wire in a longer length.

Expert Reply:

The Hopkins Heavy-Duty, Coiled Trailer Connector Adapter, # HM47075, measures 3 feet long when stretched. This will most likely not be long enough for most flat towing applications unless the 4-Way end on the vehicle has some slack that you can pull out.

You could just add a 4-pole loop, # 18045, which will provide another 60 inches of length. There is also a 48 inch loop, # 18044. A longer coiled cable is not available unless you use # RM-1064-B (8 feet long) and then wire in 4-Way flats using # 48195.
