Question:
I have a 4 way flat plug coming from my vehicle. I have a 7 blade-round connected to my Sunbird Mini-Camper. The trailer has no brakes and the only reason for the power source is to charge the battery on the camper while driving. Do you sell some kind connector/adpapter that can I can connect between the two soley to run the signal/stop/lights as I need nothing more? Thank you for your time.

Hey Creston. You're going to need the Buyers Products Trailer Connector Adapter item # 337TC1474P. This will plug directly into your 4-way connector. You'll just need to wire in the 12v and ground circuits for a power source to charge your battery. You'll need 12 Gauge Wire item # 12-1-1, which is sold by the foot. You will want to add a 40 Amp In-Line Circuit Breaker item # 9510 in the wire before connecting to the battery.
What's your tow vehicle?
