How To Add a 7-Way to a 2008 Four Winds 5000 Motorhome
Question:
2008 Fourwinds 5000 E450 chassis has a 4 flat. I need a seven blade for my enclosed trailer. Is there a plug-in harness available?

I do have an option for you but there is not going to be an entirely plug and play 4 to 7-way adapter for your 2008 Four Winds 5000 Motorhome on a Ford E-450 Cutaway Chassis. In order to install a 7-way you will need the 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Adapter part # ETBC7. This adapter will plug into the 4-way you have now but you will need to run the brake output wire from this to the back of your brake controller and ground the adapter at the very least. In order to reach the back of the brake controller you will likely need extra wire, the Deka Jacketed 2 Wire part # 10-2-1 (Per Foot).
The rest of the components you will need to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160 are included with the 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Adapter.
