Hey John,

6-pin sockets provide extra pins to add in a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to keep the battery charged while you tow. It's pretty typical for people to just cut the 4-pole connector off and wire it into a 6-pin socket, just like Rob does in the attached video below. You can pick up the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7 to get the 6-pin socket, 6-wire to 7-wire adapter cable, and a mounting bracket for the 6-pin socket.
