Hopkins 2-Pole Flat Wiring Extension Review and Installation- Video
Hi there, do it yourselfers. Today we're going to be taking a look at Hopkins two wire plug. Our wiring harness comes with a connector on each end. If you look at these, you'll see that the exposed male end on one side has a red wire, and the exposed to male end on the other connector has a white wire. This is so you can cut it in half here and wire off one side onto your trailer, and the other side can wire up onto an accessory, such as our light here, which will allow it to easily disconnect from our trailer.Some of the lights that you can purchase out there already come with one end, but your trailer might not have a connector on it. So you can use this to wire in the appropriate connection that you'll need to plug into those lights, right onto your trailer. more

You can see here, it's going to mount right here at the back of the vehicle. more

Review of Hopkins Vehicle Wiring - 4 Pole Trailer Connectors - HM48925- Video
Today we'll be taking a look at the Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit with four pole flat trailer connector.

So we're going to be pulling the power from our vehicles tail lights. You'll make your connections by cutting into the passenger side turn signal. That's going to be for the green wire. The yellow wire is our driver's side turn signal. more

Curt 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole Adapter Review- Video
Hi there, towing enthusiasts. Today, we're going to be taking a look at Curt's 4-way Adapter to 7-Way and 4-Way with Test Light. As you can see here, our trailer has a 7-way connector but our vehicle used to only have a 4-way connector. With this adapter, we are able to break it out and have a 4-way and a 7-way so we can fit our plug in, because without it it's like trying to fit a round peg in a square hole.When comparing this to other similar adapters, the things that I like about this one over those is that it has both the 7-way and the 4-way. Some are just an adapter at the back that will allow you to plug your 4-way into it, giving you a 7-way, but then you lose the functionality of your 4-way unless you we're to unplug it from your 7-way each time. I love having this breakout for your various accessories that you may use.Another feature that really stands out is the tester that's included in it. more

Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at Etrailer.com.

But it's also going to provide us with two more pins, that way we can add electric brakes or a 12 volt power source so we have a lot of options of what all we can hook up.Our cap is going to be spring loaded, so it's going to make sure that it closes whenever we're not using it and it's going to have a nice gasket there so it'll keep all that dirt, debris, and moisture out of the pins and hopefully prevent any kind of corrosion.Now on the door. You'll also notice there's this little tab. If I take my six way cord and I plug it in, you can see the tab's in a grabbed the edge of the cord there, that way it can't get pulled out unless you intentionally open the door and then pull the cord out.Our Roadmaster six way plug is gonna be a great addition to a flat Tow setup, that way we complete our tow bar wiring and we can get all those signals to the back or, if you just need to replace you're six way on an existing vehicle. Now keep in mind it's only going to be one component you need for a complete safe flat tow setup. more
