Hopkins Wiring HM48114 Review- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Hopkins Endurance Easy Pull Harness with the 4-pole flat trailer connector for the trailer end. This 4-way flat trailer end connector plugs into the 4-way flat on your vehicle. It's going to feature an easy-to-pull ring that makes the 4-way easy to disconnect.

Really nice design. Easy grip design makes it easy to pull the connector straight back for proper leverage, easily disconnecting the connector and protecting the wiring and the terminals. Pretty simple installation. more

Mighty Cord 7-Blade to 6-Pole Connector Adapter Review- Video
Today we'll be having a look at the Mighty Cord 7-Blade to 6-Pole Connector Adapter, part number A10-7276VP. Now, this is what the adapter looks like. As you can see, it's a 7-way flat RV connector to a 6-pole round. Now, this is great because a lot of trucks from the factory now come with a standard 7-way RV connector on the back and a 4-pole flat. If you own an older trailer that has a 6-pole round connector, this is a perfect solution for you. This is great because this adapter doesn't require any modification to your vehicle or your trailer. more

On this one, it's very similar, what you'll do is there's a little screw right here, unscrew that, and what that'll do is it'll allow the center portion here, the 4-wire portion, it'll fall right out. Once it comes out, same way, run your wire out through the back here, pull it through, make your connections, push that back in to where the hole lines up, and then screw it right into place. more
