Will 2 Ground Wires Fit Together Inside a 6-Pin Connector For Flat Towing a Vehicle?

Question

Question:

Hi Is it ok to connect 2 ground wires into the same ground terminal of a 6 wire pin connector. I’m wiring a taillight kit and vehicle battery tender to be able to flat tow behind our RV. Both say to connect ground wire into my 6 wire. Thank you

On a 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket # PK12720 there is typically only enough room for one wire for each terminal to mount inside the stud. You can still splice both the ground wires together and run a single wire into the terminal on the connector.
