Replacing the wiring harness on your 1976 Jayco Eagle pop up trailer should be fairly easy. If your trailer is set up with brake/turn signals, and tail lights only then I would remove the factory square 6-way wiring connector and replace it with a 4-way flat connector, item # 18004.
This connector will wire as follows the white wire should go to ground on the trailer frame, the brown wire attaches to the trailer tail light wire, the yellow wire attaches to the trailer left turn and brake... view full answer...
When installing The Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # HM20048 on your 1984 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup the black 12 Volt hot lead will have to be used in order for the brakes to work. I have attached the wiring code below:

There is a way to isolate the power draw on a 5 wire to 5 wire setup, but it would require a few parts and some wiring work. All of the isolated power trailer converters convert a 5-wire vehicle to a more standard 4-wire system for automotive use trailers, but as you are aware, motorcycle trailers are built as 5-wire systems to match the bike.
You would use part # C59496 on the bike. This part has 5 wire leads to connect ground and the different light functions. The 6th wire is the battery... view full answer...
As you noted, trailers made for the U.S. use a combined wiring scheme for their lighting. Stop and turn signals for each side of the trailer are combined into one circuit and one wire. European wiring is different; it has all separate circuits. This is why there are no simple adapters that can join the two wiring standards and why converters are needed.
Since your German-made Rewaco trike would be wired to the European standard you will need a converter to make it compatible with your... view full answer...
For your car hauler, you need the appropriate length of the Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire - per Foot # 10-2-1.

For the tail lights of the trailer, you need the Bonded 4 Wire - per foot # 16-4B-1.... view full answer...
In order to have separate turn and brake lights on your trailer, I strongly recommend using a 2-wire to 3-wire converter, like the Tow Ready # 118158 on the trailer. This will allow you to have 4-way connectors on both the vehicle and the trailer. The 4-way connectors are much more common than 5-way connectors, and will allow to you tow other things with your vehicle, or tow your trailer with other vehicles, without the need for an adapter. This converter box is not designed to be exposed... view full answer...

It seems very odd that your trailer wiring uses all 10 gauge wiring. Most of the wiring only needs to be 16 gauge or 12 gauge. I have included a chart below that will help you with the wiring needs for your trailer. You do not have to stress over having all the same color wiring but it is important to have the correct gauge wire.
I want to give you my recommendations for all the wiring you will need for the trailer. First the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box # HS381-9000... view full answer...
We do offer trailer wiring adapters that will convert a vehicle 5-pole to a trailer 4-pole format but for your application on a motorcycle that has separate stop and turn light wiring, you will need to install a converter that combines them onto the same wire. Standard trailer wiring is formatted with stop and turn light signals on the same wires, the yellow wire carrying LEFT stop/turn and the green carrying RIGHT stop/turn.
You can use Tail Light Converter part # C56175 to combine the... view full answer...
Four flat trailer wiring, also called 4-pole wiring, uses four wires and pins configured as shown in the linked photo of a trailer side 4-pole connector.
The one pin that is different from the other three (on both trailer and vehicle side connectors) will be the ground pin and this usually has a WHITE wire that will ground to a clean bare metal spot the trailer frame with a ring terminal.
The next pin is for the running light circuit and this typically uses a brown wire to activate the... view full answer...

Since you have six wires it sounds to me like you have a double ground and a left and a right side tail light wire. If this is the case you could use a wishbone harness like the 20 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 30" Ground Wire, # A20WB, as a replacement because it has the separate left and right side tail light wires.
I recommend using a spare car battery to assist with testing the trailer wires for function. You will just need to ground the negative terminal of the battery... view full answer...
When a 4-pole (4-pin) flat trailer connector actually has 5 wires this simply means it is a 'wishbone' style connector with dual running light wires. These dual wires just make it easier to connect to the running lights on both sides of the trailer. Examples of such items are # A35W42B, # A20WB and # A10-4225VP.

First you will need to locate the brake controller wires in your 2022 Chevrolet Express van. One you have located the wires you will need to use a Test Light # PTW2993 to verify that the wiring is functioning properly.
