Expert Reply:
You can replace just the 7-way connector plug on your RV by using the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End # PK12706.
I do recommend removing the wires from your current connector one at a time, and immediately connect them to the same location on the new connector to make sure everything gets installed correctly. The color of the wires on trailers are not standardized so you will not want to just install the connector based on the colors.
I included a video of the # PK12706 and a diagram of the wiring of a 7-way connector for you to take a look at.
