Feature Review Hopkins Trailer Connector Adapter Video

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we…

A junction box/7-way plug kit like Epicord #277-000141 or #HS381-9000 lets you convert the camper to match the 7-way RV blade type connector format. This avoids the extra connection points and potential trouble spots from using separate adapters.…

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…

To run a charge line to your battery you will first need to install a 7-Way on your trailer. This can be done using the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box #277-000141. The Black wire in the junction box is the one that will carry the…

The 6-pole sockets that we carry can only handle up to 12 gauge wire so the only way to really swap away from Lance's proprietary connector would be to treat it like a standard camper and switch to a junction box and 7-way connector like parts…

The older Lance truck bed campers use a proprietary plug and we don't have an adapter for this. We don't carry it but Lance does offer a matching vehicle side trailer connector for this but I recommend just converting the trailer connector on…

Thank you for all of the info! Long story short I recommend using the Kuat Pivot 2 #PVD20B that swings to the driver's side of the vehicle. It accomplishes what you're needing done, is a solid piece of hardware, is the easiest to use, and it…

The Hayes Air Utility Brake Control #HA100400C, which you reference, is designed for towing vehicles that have air brakes and trailers that have electric brakes. If you want to convert your trailer's air brakes to electric brakes you will want to…

The trailer brakes work on a separate circuit than the lights. You have a couple of options to control the electric brakes on the trailer. One option is to use an air over electric brake control, #HA100400C. This unit connects to the air brakes on…

Since your Volvo 780 semi has air brakes the part #HA100400C that you referenced would work well as it is designed to tap into your air brake system and apply a proportional amount of braking power to your trailer's brakes as it senses coming…

To tow your trailer that uses an RV style 7-way blade style connector with your semi that has a 7-pin connector, you need to construct an adapter that will also combine the brake signal into the right and left directional signal pins. This can be…
