Hey Wayne! What kind of motorhome do you have? The Hopkins Tow Doctor # HM50918 will work with your flat tow wiring. The connectors are all the same and part of a 12V system so you can plug it into the connector on your motorhome and test to make sure everything is working properly.

@RobinH What is the difference between HM50928 and HM50918? My main objective is to test the flat tow wiring on my 2023 GMC truck that I tow behind my motorhome.

@WayneF the # HM50928 uses a 12V battery so you could test the wiring on your truck without the motorhome. Or you could check the wiring on a trailer without the tow vehicle. Based on what you're saying this is what you need.
