Can Two Of The Curt 2-Wire to 3-Wire Converter C56196 Be Used To Convert RV To 3-Wire System

Updated 11/03/2024 | Published 06/17/2021

Question:

I want to convert a 2 wire taillight on a RV to a 3 wire taillight. Can I buy 2 of the 56196 controllers and use them separate instead of running and fishing all the wires through the body of the RV. All the wires for the individual lights are in a hole behind each tail lights. Would I need a resistor for the blinker and will the unit sense signals correctly using it only on one side? Thanks,

Yes you can use two of the Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196, one on each side of your RV to convert its 2-wire system to work with 3-wire lights. Doing it this way will prevent you from having to run the wiring from one side to the other on your RV.

You will not need to use any resistors, and the turn signals will work just fine.

I included a video of the # C56196 for you to take a look at.

could you install this on the rv at the 7 pole plug? Input side would be just the two way combined from rv but split it into r/l turn signals and brakes at the plug?
