Parts Needed to Convert a 4-Way on a Trailer to a 7-Way
Question:
Morning, I have a two axle trailer that has a Hopkins 7 pin female connector. I need to connect to a 4 pin connector on my truck. What adapter do I purchase to make the connection?

Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
