Question:
Hello, How does your 7-Way Trailer Adapter for Towing Trailers with LED Lights Part Number: C57003 differ in operation from Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass - 7-Way RV to 7-Way RV - Vehicle End Part Number: 20142? Thanks for your help, Greg

Hey Greg, yes the Curt 7-way adapter part # C57003 and the Tow Ready part # 20142 both do the exact same thing. They have load resistors installed in the lighting circuits to prevent lamp out errors due to the lower amperage draw.
I think I prefer the smaller Tow Ready design but let me know which you think you'd like.

Hey Greg, how did things go with the Tow Ready adapter once you tried it out? Your feedback on how it handled the lamp-out errors could really help others comparing these two options.
