Video Transcript for Review of Hopkins Wiring - Wiring Adapters - HM47083
Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com.Today, we're going to take a look at this Hopkins heavy duty seven way to six pole round coiled trailer connector adapter.Now, if your trailer has a six pole round connector on it and you go to connect to your vehicle and you find out there's only a seven way RV blade connector on the vehicle, that would be a problem. Now, this adapter right here will solve that problem. This is a nice heavy duty coiled cable adapter. It is compatible to plug into the seven way RV blade connector that's on your vehicle and it'll adapt it to work with the six way connector that's on your trailer.Now, the thing you need to make sure is that that center pin on the six pole round trailer side connector must be a 12 volt power connection for this adapter to work. Now, this is a nice heavy duty coiled cable.
You can see when it's stretched, it's about three foot long, provides the extra reach while ensuring that the wire will not drag due to the flex coil design. Has a nice weatherproof jacketing on it. Easy grip connector on this end. Does use tin-plated terminals for corrosion resistance.Other nice feature on the six pole end, you can see it has this nice attached dust cap here that when you're not plugged in or using it, you can just put it on over there and it'll protect the terminals from the elements. And it also uses this swing away metal clamp right here you can see, that'll keep the connection to the six pole end on your trailer nicely attached.
So if you go to attach it, you just take your plug off, plug it into the six way, rotate that metal clamp up and it'll hold the two connections together, keeps them from coming apart.And then when you're done, just go ahead and put your . when you're not using it, go ahead and put your cap back on and you can swing this out of the way up against the cord. Very nice connection.But that should do it for the review on this Hopkins heavy duty seven way to six pole round coil trailer connector adapter.

Product came on time and worked great. I’ve never ordered from Amazon preferring to order directly from suppliers.

The coiled trailer connector adapter I order was shipped the day after my order and I received this item quickly. Based on my smooth transaction with e-trailer, I would recommend this website to my friends. In fact this site was recommended to me by my son-in-law.
by: Jim L.04/06/2020
I bought a new truck last year which had an electrical plug that did not fit my horse trailer. The Hopkins adapter that I ordered from etrailer.com was received in a very timely manner. It also was a perfect fit I just plugged it in and was good to go. I used it the whole year with no problems. I would not hesitate to use etrailer.com again.
by: William04/24/2015
This is the strangest product I've run into. Besides being to short the six wire end has male pins. Try to go to any auto parts store trailer outlet even to e.trailer.com and find a connector that is mounted on a vehicle and it will have a male end on it. Who in there right mind would want to have a connector mounted on there tow vehicle with a pig-tail that comes out from the mail connector mounted on the tow vehicle. That's the only part I could find. So I went to an auto parts store and got parts and assembled my own cable that will work just fine. Besides it is longer and won't pull out of it's connections when making turns; the coil is to stiff for even a short distance.

Male pins. Useless. Had to buy the right cable from [online] .Love etrailer. Only reason not going 5 star is the 7 way to 6 way cable. 6 way has male pins. Useless and I bought the male receiver from etrailer too.

I do have a solution for you. For a flat tow install you would need part #HM47053 which would have a female end for the 6 pin connector.

Super heavy duty. Perfect fit. Very well made and price is good for this product. My truck already had the towing package so the 7 blade end fit without any adapters, as well as the 6 pole end that hooks up to the trailer. Very satisfied.
by: Cheryl O03/23/2015
So glad to have this product, which fit my connector perfectly. Customer Service was very helpful in assisting me in purchasing the correct item.
by: Al G.12/11/2014
Excellent quality and heavy duty products. I could not locate these type of cords locally but found them at etrailer. The cords are doing the job just as I planned. Would recommend etrailer for your towing needs.
by: John Butterfield08/19/2013
Great deal.... Thanks! I looked all over for this type of adapter. Very hard to find. Thanks to you I am spared the task of making a hard wire change just to pull an old hay trailer for my Dad. Thanks again!!

See what our Experts say about this Hopkins Trailer Wiring
- Should Trailer Batteries for Powering Trailer Jack and Breakaway Kit Be SeparateYou will need a second battery to power the lights and jack you mentioned as the breakaway kit battery would not be strong enough for that and since it has to be fully charged at all times you would not want to have any other circuits draining it. You can charge it and the breakaway battery at the same time though with the same charge wire from your junction box.
view full answer... - What is the Wire Gauge Used Inside of Hopkins Heavy-Duty, Coiled Trailer Connector AdapterThe actual wires inside of the cable for coiled extension # HM47083 are 16 gauge wires.
view full answer... - Can a Trailer Battery Be Charged through 12 Volt Circuit on Hopkins Coiled 7-Way to 6-Way AdapterTrailer wiring on a vehicle or trailer can provide a maintenance charge only to a 12 volt battery (if it is a regular car type of battery) but the wiring is not heavy enough, nor are most vehicle alternators strong enough, to push back the amperage required to charge up a 12 volt battery. If it is a small breakaway battery then it can charge it up. So as long as the 12 volt circuit is working on the tow vehicle and the matching 12 volt circuit on the trailer side is connected to the positive...
view full answer... - Recommended 7-Way to 6-Pole Adaper with 12V Center Pin The round 6-Way end of the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053 referenced in your question does feature a center pin but it is wired for the electric brake signal. If you need the center pin on the 6-Way to be wired for 12 volt power, I instead recommend the Hopkins # HM47083. This heavy-duty, coiled cable adapter can be stretched to 3 feet in length and will allow you to connect the 7-Way on your RV to the 6-Way connector on your towed vehicle or trailer.
view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Do Not Work When Using 7-Way to 6-Way Adapter with a 2010 Chevy SilveradoThe problem that you are experiencing is likely happening because there are 2 different ways to wire a 6-Way trailer connector. The brake output pin will wither be the center pin or it will be in the 2 oclock position, if looking at the face of the trailer side connector. Which ever one that it is, the other one would be the 12 volt circuit. Normally when this happens the trailer brakes will immediately lock up. But it is possible because you have a Chevy truck that the 12 volt circuit...
view full answer... - Recommended 7-Way To 6-Way Trailer ConnectionFor a 7-Way to 6-Way, I recommend the Hopkins Heavy-Duty, Coiled Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way to 6-Pole Round - Center Pin Brake # HM47085 or the Hopkins Heavy-Duty, Coiled Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way to 6-Pole Round - Center Pin 12V Power # HM47083. The difference between these adapters is where the functions are connected on the 6 way. You will want to make sure your trailer matches the functions correctly. I've attached an article to help. Most 6 way connections will have...
view full answer... - Connecting 7-Way on Tow Vehicle to 6-Way on Trailer If you are just needing to connect the 7-Way on your tow vehicle to the 6-Way on your trailer, I recommend using the Hopkins 7-Way to 6-Pole Adapter # HM47085 or # HM47083. These two adapters differ only in what the center pin is used for. If the center pin on your trailer side connector is for the electric brake signal, you will use # HM47085. If the center pin on the trailer connector is for 12-volt power, you will instead use # HM47083. One end of the adapter will plug into the 7-Way...
view full answer... - 7 Foot 7-Way Extension RecommendationI believe the closest thing to what you want would be the 7-Way Connector Loop # 20027. This product is 7 feet long and would act as an extension for your 7-way connectors. Although it is longer than you said you needed you could loop up the excess and run a zip-tie around it to give you the right length.
view full answer... - Do Hopkins Trailer Wiring Adapters # HM47083 and # 47549 Do the Same ThingBoth of the Hopkins wiring adapters you referenced, parts # HM47083 and # 47549, will plug into a vehicle side 7-way socket and convert that connector format to a 6-way round-pin type. The main difference is that part # HM47083 includes a coiled cable that is 3-feet long when stretched fully while the # 47549 is just the adapter portion without the extension cable. Another difference is pin configuration. Usually 6-way connectors use the center pin for the trailer's 12V power feed. This...
view full answer... - 6-Way Vehicle to 7-Way Trailer Adapter RecommendationWe have exactly what you need. It sounds like you have a 6-way round connector on your 1999 Ford F-250 and need to tow a trailer with a 7-way blade connector. All you need is the adapter part # 47435. Check out the review video. The # HM47083 that you referenced is the opposite adapter you would need. It would be for if the vehicle had a 7-way and the trailer had a 6-way.
view full answer... - Wiring Up a 7-Way # 20246 to a Trailer without a Reverse Light CircuitThe center pin of the 7-way is the reverse light circuit, if your trailer does not have the need for a reverse light circuit then you do not have to use it. You would just connect all of the other wires and leave that one unused. To see how a 7-way typically gets wire up check out the picture I attached. You will want to wire the leads of the # 20246 by function to the trailer wiring. The yellow wire of the 7-Way # 20246 would not be used as it goes to the center pole.

- 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Trailer Connector Adapter that Does Not Light UpWe do have similar 7-Way to 6-Way connectors that do not glow. You could use # HM47083 if you need 12 volt power on the center pin (on the 6-Way end). Or you could use # HM47085 if you need the center pin to pin for electric brake output. These items are much shorter than the Hopkins glowing adapter.

You can search all such items using the page I linked for you. Click on the type of vehicle connector you have (7-way blade-style, for instance) and one the type of trailer connector (6-pole) to then see all items that will work to join them, like Hopkins Endurance # HM47053 and # HM47085. Do note that 6-pole connectors can be configured in two ways; center...
view full answer... - Replacement 7-Way Plug and Lead to Replace Damaged One that Got Drug While DrivingYou'll want to install a new plug and lead on your trailer to replace the damaged one. Would be a good idea to go with a longer one than you have now. The the adapter you referenced has a 7-way I am fairly certain that's the type of trailer connector you have. Especially since that's very common on camper trailers like you have. We have the part # 277-000143 which is a 7-way that has an 8 foot long lead that would work well.
view full answer... - 7-Way to 6-Pole Adapter with Center Pin 12 Volt PowerThe Hopkins 7-Way to 6-Pole adapter # HM47053 only comes with a center pole brake configuration but we have # HM47083 that is set up for center pin 12 volt power. But it is 3 feet long. Another option is to use # BX88206 and just take apart the connectors and swap the 12 volt and brake output wires on one end.
view full answer... - Converting A 6-Pole Trailer to 7-Pole Tow Vehicle ConnectionThe Hopkins Adapter 7-Pole to 6-Pole # 47549 plugs into a vehicle side 7-way socket and converts that connector format to a 6-way round-pin type. If you think you will need some length for your connection, # HM47083 is an alternative that does the same thing but includes a coiled cable that is 3-feet long when stretched fully while the # 47549 is just the adapter portion without the extension cable. 47549 can be changed to allow a different function - trailer brakes - to be carried on...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 6-Way to 7-Way Trailer Adapter Where Functions Arent Working CorrectlyIt is very likely that your 6-way is not wired for the 6-Pole to 7-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 47435. Trailer wiring with 6-way connectors can have two ways the brake and hot are wired, so it is likely the 12V hot and brake output wires are not in the correct locations, which is easy to switch. This adapter is made for the 12v power to be the center pin of your 6-way and the pin in the 10 o'clock position for the brakes. You can verify this using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993....
view full answer... - Connector For 6-Round on Truck Camper to 7-Way on 2014 GMC Sierra 1500We can help you out with the parts needed to go from your camper's 6-way to the 7-way of your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. First, if you are looking for a 7-way for the truck bed of your Sierra for the plug-in connection, what you can use is the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # 50-97-410. Then, to connect to your camper's 6-round, there are a couple of options, depending on if your camper's 6-way center pin is the brake signal or the 12 volt. - Center Pin 12V...

This will measure 8 feet long and will be more heavy duty than some of the other options we have. I know you mentioned already having the 6 Way on your 2020 Chevy Colorado, but if you want another good option for this, the Hopkins # HM48420. This another heavy duty option and will match the trailer end perfectly. Para el lado del remolque, necesitará el conector moldeado de 6 vĂas con cable # 50-61-108....
view full answer... - Available Wiring Adapters to Join Vehicle 7-Way to Trailer 6-Way Round ConnectorWe offer several trailer wiring adapters that can convert a 7-way blade connector on the vehicle to a 6-way round pin connector on the trailer. You can see all of these on the linked page. These include solid adapters like # HM47570 as well as cabled types like # HM47053 and # HM47083. I recommend a cabled adapter since it will provide strain relief and make it easier to do the connections. You need to note that a 6-way can be configured in either of two ways. Please refer to the linked...
view full answer... - 7-Way Blade Style to 6-Way Round Trailer Connector AdapterThe magnetic tow lights # SPL30B-6 only have stop, tail, and turn signal functions so the 12 volt circuit and brake output circuit won't even be used. So basically it does not matter if the center pin on the adapter is brakes or power. Also, the 6-Way on the tow lights can be opened up so you can change around the wire configuration if needed. Extension # HM47083 is an excellent choice as is # HM47085. I have linked a video review of the latter.
view full answer... - Replacement 6-Way to 7-Way Coiled RV Connector for Flat TowingThere is a standard wire color to function relation for trailer connectors which I have attached for you, but you will want you test each of the wires with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to be sure you are making the correct connections. The 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Connector part # A7WCB can be used to replace the 6-way on your coiled connector but a better option for you would be to replace the entire harness using the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Coiled Trailer Connector Adapter part...

- 6-Way Fifth Wheel Trailer Connector for 2011 GMC SierraIf your Sierra already has the 7-way connector installed in the bed, you can use an adapter to convert the 7-way to a 6-way. Hopkins makes a great heavy-duty adapter. If the center pin on the 6-way connector on the trailer carries the power to the trailer brakes, use part # HM47085. If the center pin is used for an auxiliary circuit, use part # HM47083. If you do not have the connector in the truck bed, I would recommend part # 50-97-410.
view full answer... - How to Tell if Trailer Has 6-Way or 7-Way InstalledIt sounds like you have a 7-way blade connector on your boat trailer as that is a very common connector on boat styles. This connector has 6 pins around the outside of the connector and a center pin for a total of 7. Part # A7WCB would be what a 7-way would look like. If you had a 6-way it would look like part # PK11604.
