Question:
Looking for a wiring harness for my 2006 E-450 cutaway from Thor, its a handicapped bus. Im also hoping the Drawtite 41945 works on it, or I can make it work. I have a couple round plugs that are being used, a red with 4 wires and black with 3 wires, one thats maybe 6 wires thats 2 rows of 3 and capped off, then another plug thats at the very back next to a reverse siren with 5 or 6 wires straight and capped. I have pictures but may need to clean them up for wire colors.

First the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41945 is designed for the van chassis and not the cutaway chassis. I have included the measurements for the mounting bolts that you can compare to yours to verify the fitment. You will most likely need the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver with either the 7" tall Brackets # 41990-07 or 16" tall Brackets # 41990-16. This can be welded or bolted to the frame.
For the trailer wiring you will need the Universal Wiring Harness w/ ModuLite and Brake Controller Harness # 22551 unless you have the round Connector # HM40985 that will connect to a 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975. You will then be able to identify the correct wiring with a Test Light # PTW2993 for connecting to the 7-way. I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 if you are needing a brake controller.
