I do have a trailer wiring harness option for you to consider however, there are no t-connector wiring harnesses for your 1972 Volkswagen Bus Campmobile.
In order to install a wiring harness on your vehicle for towing, you will need to hardwire in a harness such as the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # HM48035. The white wire will need to be grounded to the chassis, the brown wire will be spliced into the vehicle's tail lights, the yellow wire will need to be spliced into the left turn/brake lights and the green wire is for the right turn/brake lights.
I also recommend using the quick splice wire connector like part # SWC501746-1 to make these connections.
