• Tow Bar Recommendation to Flat Tow a 2011 GMC Terrain with a Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar

• How to Adapt From a 6-Way Trailer Connector to a 4-Way Connector
  It sounds like your trailer has a 4-way flat connector and your 1976 Ford Truck has a 6-way. Which if this is the case all you would need is the correct adapter, part # PK12717. If I have that backwards and you need the opposite adapter all you would need is part # A10-6034VP. I also attached an FAQ article that has wiring diagrams for all trailer connector styles.

• Why Does a 6-Way to 4-Way Adapter Only have 4 Contacts
  An adapter such as # 37325 or # PK12717 will only have the necessary pins required by the 4-Way end. These are the basic lighting functions; left/right turn signals, brake lights, and running lights. And the 4th is the ground (the turn signals and brake lights are combined on the same circuit for each side of the trailer). A trailer that uses a 4-Way flat connector does not have the other functions on a 6-Way. If the connector on your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee is factory then it is likely...

• What Adapter Do I need to Convert the 6-Way to a 4-Way on my 2010 Chevy Avalanche for a Hitch Cover
  For a 6-Pole Round connector, you would use adapter part # PK12717. Most of the manufacturers use 7-Pole connectors, not 6. There are 6 flat pins arranged in a circle with a large center post as the 7th contact. In this case, you would use part # PK12716. Check the pictures of the parts I mentioned and you should be able to tell which is on your truck. I just do not want you to end up with the wrong part.

• Recommended 6-Way to 4-Flat Adapter for Towing Trailer Behind Itasca Motorhome

• Tow Bar Wiring to Go From 2023 Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB to 2018 Jeep Cherokee
  The trailer wiring at the rear of a 2023 Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB would be a 7-way. The included umbilical wiring that comes with the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676 has a 7-way on the RV side so that would match up so you wouldn't have to rewire anything. An easy solution to connect the Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring Kit part # HM56208 that fits your 2018 Jeep Cherokee would be a 6-way to 4-way adapter part # PK12717 and you'd be set without having to rewire anything.

• Need to Adapt 6-Way Connector on Motor Home to 4-Pole Round Tow Bar Cable
  I would recommend installing a 4-pole round socket, part # PK11404 on the rear of the motor home, rather than trying to construct an adapter. The socket would need to be tapped into the wires feeding your 6-way. We offer 4 conductor wire, part # 16-4B-1 that is sold by the foot, you would probably want at least two feet. The wire is conveniently color coded, and would attach to the 4-pole socket as follows: Attach the brown wire to the # 2 terminal. Terminal # 1 would be grounded to the...

  A 6-way round to a 5 flat can be made but since the demand for this type of adapter is very low none of our manufacturers offer one. What you would need is 5-way vehicle side with lead like # HM47900 and then wire it to a 6-way plug part # PK11604 and you'd have the adapter you'd need.

Next, add a light kit to plug into the 4-Way flat part of the adapter, like Magnetic Towing Light Kit, # RM-2120.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring of 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Where Turn Signals do Not Work
  The trailer wiring of your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 SHOULD have the turn signals already combined since that is the standard wiring and Dodge has always abided by same wiring setups. Your generation of Dodge truck doesn't use traditional fuse/breakers for circuit protection of the trailer wiring and instead has all of that integrated into the TIPM of the vehicle. The only way you can get that reset is by going to a Dodge dealer. We do have a solution that allows you to bypass that if you are...

  Snice your 2008 Mini Cooper S has the Sport suspension you'll need to use a tow dolly to tow your vehicle behind your Winnebago instead of a standard flat towing setup that uses a base plate kit.

This tow dolly comes with brake lights already and a connector for it as well. Since your RV has a 6-Way...

• Using Lighted LED Chevy Bow Tie Hitch Cover on 2005 Chevy Silverado with 6-Way Trailer Connector
  Trailer hitch cover # RP86530 comes with a 4-Way but not an adapter. You would need to order an adapter separately. A 6-Way trailer connector is not too common on vehicles like your 2005 Chevy Silverado. Doublecheck to make sure it isn't actually a 7-Way such as # PK11893. If you do have a 6-Way you can use adapter # PK12717. If it is a 7-Way you can use adapter # PK12716.
