Hi John,
The Hopkins Plug-In Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Blade # HM54RV sounds like a great fit for your setup, especially since it doesn’t require a secondary ground.
Just a quick note: this is strictly an adapter. So, if you're towing a trailer with electric brakes, it won’t function with a brake controller, you’d need a different solution for that.
As for the dimensions:
- The length from where the 4-way harness starts (at the bottom) to the end of the 4-flat connector is 6 1/2".
- The 7-way connector itself is about 4 1/4", bringing the total length to approximately 10 3/4".
I went out to the warehouse and measured it myself, I’ve attached pictures for your reference.
Will that length work for your application?
