I have a replacement connector option, but there is not an adapter to convert the Lance specific connector on your 2004 Lance truck bed camper to a standard 7-way connector on your 2016 GMC Sierra.

Instead I recommend replacing the connector with the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK12706. You will need to test the functions of your camper using a 12v battery to power them and the make the connections to the connector following the included diagram.

I included a video of the # PK12706 for you to take a look at.

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we…
