Question

Question:

I have a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # C56382 installed on my 2018 Honda Odyssey. I am purchasing a 2020 Casita 17 trailer with Bargman 7 pin connection. What do I need to change to go from 4 flat to 7 pin with a brake controller. The dry weight is about 2500 #.

The best option to convert a 4-way on a Honda Odyssey into a 7-way will be the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L with Curt Echo Mobile Wireless Brake Controller part # C51180. This option allow for simple installation with no splicing required. The Curt Echo is super user friendly and simply uses a mobile device for controls.
