Hey Steve!

You've got a plug similar to the 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit # 37995. If you have a specific trailer you're wanting to tow only with the Trike then this will work (just match the functions of the wiring per pins), but if you're wanting the trailer to be towable by the trike or a vehicle, I recommend swapping out the wiring on your trike to a standard 7-Way.

The Hopkins Adapter # 37185 will give you both standard 4-Way and 7-Way plugs for your trike and is the best way to go to keep your trailer towable by the vast majority of vehicles on the road, so I recommend going that route.

What kind of plug do you have on your trailer?

@Steve Ah, I see now. I misinterpreted what the plug looked like - my bad! We unfortunately don't have a plug like that so my only option would be for something like the Hopkins I referenced above. You might try checking with the CSC directly to see if they have any kind of adapter, or what they suggest to get around their unique version for a trailer plug.
