You may need a Tow Ready Replacement 7-Way Harness # 20147 to install the Curt Replacement OEM USCAR Trailer Connector # C42JR on your 2017 Ford E-450 cutaway under your Thor class C motorhome. You will need to check your factory 7-way to determine if it uses the quick connect or if it is hardwired in. If hardwired you will need to either cut the wiring or disassemble the wiring from the 7-way. Be sure to disconnect the batteries before cutting/splicing this wiring. Other wise if you have the standard USCAR connector you will simply swap over to the different connector.

You will likely need the Mounting Bracket # HM40978 to secure this new connector in place.
