Video Transcript for Hopkins Wiring - Wiring Adapters - 37995 Review
Today we're going to review part number 37995, this is the Hopkins 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit. You can see it has the square design 6-Pole on both connectors. It includes the male end, the male end is what would go on the trailer and includes the female end, 6-square end, which will go on to the vehicle. Basically the pigtail wires on each, they use an 18 gauge size wire. The length, give you an idea of the length on these, got a 12 inch ruler and basically you can see that you're about 12 inches in length on each one. Now basically what you would do is this one here, with the female end, this would connect to the vehicle, the tow vehicle, so you'd wire this in with the pigtail wires. This end, with the male ends, would go to the trailer, and again you'd wire those in.
Then basically all you would have to do is push that together, just like that, and you would have the six way connector. That should do it for the review on part number 37995, the Hopkins 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit. .

Bullet-proof connector, if not the most elegant.
Used in my case for custom "adventurization" wiring on my 2007 BMW F800ST motorcycle, now just road tested this late summer - early fall 2017 on a three month, 18,000 mile loop out of Chicago through the Arctic & Pacific Northwest, including the Dempster & Dalton Highways.
Had a custom wiring harness that had to be able to be removed in order to get at the engine, hence the need for the connectors.
A few photos should be attached.

This is a product that I needed for my project, but was not easily found and available. etrailer.com not only had the product, but had it at a great price. Shipping was very fast and free for the amount I ordered. Overall, this was a great shopping experience. I made a bulk order of 16 as I am manufacturing trailers that are towed behind motorcycles. This product gives me the six conductors that I need in a very small package, which is great due to the size of motorcycles compared to cars or trucks. The only thing that could be improved with this product would be if they came with dust caps for each connector, or at least one for the vehicle side to prevent dust and moisture intrusion while the trailer is not in use. Keep up the excellent service and selection.

I needed to add a more convenient location to plug and unplug my backup camera on my 2015 Chevy. The camera harness was a 6-wire harness and this 6-way plug was just what I needed. Works perfectly.
by: Derrek06/21/2023
The wiring kit I ordered has been a very hard to find item in the past. Luckily, I found it on etrailer, & it was identical to what my camper came with from the factory! Waiting & delivery was minimal, & I'll gladly order from them again.

I have a Coleman popup trailer w/ a 6-wire harness (no brakes). After receiving the Hopkins 6-wire plugs from eTrailer, I was able to create a conversion cable to "jump" my 4-wire tow vehicle plug lead to the 6-wire trailer plug. It works very well and I will be ordering other items from eTrailer.

This product replaces several of types of connectors, e.g., cinch-jones and other 6 wire types. It will be used to connect model railroad show modules. I was looking for a reasonably rapid insertion and disconnect and good conductivity. Power is low power DC, so the wire is more than adequate. I also needed a reasonable drop so as not to strain the terminal strip (barrier) connection. These, I believe, will work well. I hope this helps.

The connector sets I purchased are for inter modular connection on a mobile model railroad. They are working very well. I would hope you might make a connector with more pins, e.g., 8 or possibly 10. I realize the trailer application requires only 6, but the ledger ones might find other applications.
by: Carl10/01/2022
Works for my Arctic Fox truck camper.
The battery feed line is small gauge(14) and if your drawing a lot of power from the truck this wire will easily be overloaded and melt. Run a separate wire if you need more than a few amps out of the truck.
by: John12/21/2017
Did not use this as a trailer connector. I had to have a way to plug and unplug another device. This worked perfectly. The wires were long enough to stagger the splices and allow for a smaller diameter splice. Overall an excellent product.

The device I used this on is now installed permanently and no longer need to plug and unplug for relocation., The connector worked perfectly and never showed any signs of corrosion on the connectors even though it was exposed to the elements.

Product was what I ordered. It came when it arrived I used it for its intended purpose. It operated as it should
by: Glenn G.08/18/2016
I had great difficulty finding this 6-pin "Square" connector elsewhere. I was pleased that etrailer had it and the price was excellent. Delivery was prompt and the part was as advertised.
My only complaint is that the wiring "color code" did not match what I expected from the existing connector on my camper and other wiring diagrams that I had seen. This caused some minor problems initially. Though, I was able to work through it.
I'd certainly use etrailer again for similar part needs.
by: Keith 10/09/2022
Worked excellant to get the running lights and stop lights working on a motorcycle trike conversion.
by: Richard07/28/2018
This was exactly what I needed for a non-trailer application. I used a pair of these connectors for my antenna rotator wire connections so that I could disconnect them when I was moving the setup. The gauge of the stranded wire is substantial and easy to work with when stripping to make connections. Using it both under screws and soldering to other cables was easy. Color-coding matched the current cables. The two connectors might use a bit of light lubrication to more easy push together and pull apart.
by: Ken04/12/2016
Delivered in very timely manner. Very easy to install. Works great. Very happy with motorcycle to trailer wiring harness. It cleared up several problems I was having trying to mate the trailer to the motorcycle.
by: Robert 04/25/2021
Part came in as described. Was a perfect fit for my needs. Has worked very well. One small problem which we overcame is that the connector is very hard to totally connect and even harder to disconnect when the winter is over. The use of channel lock pliers took care of the problem. Being hard made them more water resistant which was a plus.
by: Lawrence 10/09/2022
I’ve looked the connector over but haven’t installed it yet. It is a high quality item and I’m sure it will work as designed!
by: Clyde05/29/2018
Great FAST service and fortunately it was the correct size I needed.. bought the camper used with just pigtail.. Not quite as heavy of wiring I would like as my truck and camper are larger.. #10 or #8 on the power wires would be nice!
But for the price and it serves the tail lights well.. a fair deal... will be buying a decent 7 pin 10' jumper and do it right!
by: Nicholas 06/20/2023
Arrived promptly. Works like a charm. Exactly what I needed.
by: Dan D.08/11/2014
I recently needed a simple trailer plug for a motorcycle. I shopped for the product at a couple of major stores and could not find a six prong connector. I could have kept looking and probably found it but I went to etrailer.com and found it cheaper even with shipping than I could have bought it locally. Thanks etrailer

I bought a motorcycle pull cart to pull behind our Miata. I looked all over Madison to find the right connection pieces. After being told it could not be done, I brought up your web site and found exactly what I needed. Your web site even had a video that I watched and learned from. Now I can travel Route 66 knowing my trailer lights will be working all the way to California and back. Thanks for the great product selection you offer and the efficient way the web site works in the ordering process.
by: Ted C.09/15/2013
As pictured, and a fair price. Arrived quickly and in good condition. I ordered this in error for my application. I will be able to make use of this in the future, however.
by: Jerry W.05/30/2015
This plug was a great fine for me. I needed to rewire the trailer plug on a small pop up camper my daugther had bought. The manufacture wanted $40+shipping for a factory pig tail. The was much cheaper and fit perfect.
by: RevDrew07/09/2019
Simple trailer plug. I needed a 6 pin and preferred a small square plug for my application, rather than a large round.
etrailer had just what i needed and at the lowest price
To my surprise, it even arrived quickly to boot

- Is 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit # 37995 Same As Older Style 6-Way Square ConnectorThe 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit # 37995 that you referenced is the standard 6-way square connector that has been used on campers for several years. It would be the same style of connector you have already so this would work as a replacement.
view full answer... - Running Lights Do Not Work on Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Pulled with a 2008 Saturn VueThe first step I would take is to check the vehicle side and trailer side connectors for any corrosion or dirt build up that could cause a bad connection and clean it out. If the connectors look clean, then you should use a circuit tester, # PTW2993, to check the trailer connector on the back of your 2008 Saturn Vue. Make sure you are getting a signal at each pin when that function is activated. I have attached a video of my co-worker testing a 4-flat trailer connector for you to reference....
view full answer... - Adapting 6-Pole Square RV Connector to 4-Pole Flat Connector for Use With Optronics Lights # TLL21RKThere is no plug-in adapter available to mate a 6-pole square RV connector directly to a 4-pole flat connector, but we do offer a 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit, part # 37995, that can work for you as long as you do not have a Jayco RV (which can have compatibility issues with this part). Hopkins Connector Kit # 37995 includes both male and female connectors. You can cut off the 4-pole flat connector from the MaxxTow Magnetic Light Kit and splice in the male 6-pole connector...

- Making a 6-Way Square to 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Adapter for a Motorcycle and TrailerYour question is perfectly clear, and it is one that has come up before. Putting a 4-Way flat on the trailer is easy enough. You can use a trailer side 4-Way and splice it to the existing trailer wiring by function. The adapter for the 6-Way square to 4-Way flat is going to require a little more work. I recommend starting with the 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit, # 37995. You will need the end that plugs into the vehicle side to make an adapter. You can then use Quick FixTM...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Connect Vehicle with 4-Pole to Trailer with 6-Way and Separate Brake LightsSince your vehicle's 4-pole wiring harness uses stop and turn signals that are combined on one wire, the green and yellow wires, you will use Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 which takes in those combined signals and separates them out onto individual wires at its output side. Your Brown running light wire will simple bypass the converter and go directly to the trailer connector. Rather than use adapters to connect the tow vehicle and trailer I suggest you wire in a matching...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Jayco Popup Camper Brakes and Tail Light Turn SignalsYour trailer light functioning sporadically and the lack of function at other times leads me to believe there is a power issue. It sounds like there is a ground connection issue, but it could also be that there is a power supply issue. I recommend testing your wiring using an incandescent circuit tester like # PTW2993. Some testers will utilize LED lights that don't draw the same power as incandescent bulbs so they may give you a false reading on power. Double check the ground on your...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Make a Coiled 6-Way Square to 7-Way Blade AdapterYes, when making the adapter if you wanted to use the coiled part # WG54006-046 instead of the part # H20042 that is straight you certainly could. Either would work well with the part # 37995 to make the needed adapter.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Flashing Trailer Lights After Replacing 6-way with 4-WayIt sounds like you wired up your new 4-way wrong. What you will want to do is use a 12-volt battery and jumper wire to test all of the wires of your trailer so you can determine their function and then wire up the trailer to your new 4-way according. The white wire of your 4-way will be the ground, brown will be running lights, the yellow will be left turn/brake, and the green right turn/brake.

view full answer... - Brake Controller and 7-Way Recommendation for 2005 Ford ExplorerSounds like your camper uses the Jayco style 6-way square like what the part # 37995 has. It also sounds like you found the connector for a 4-way on your 2005 Ford Explorer like what the part # C55251 is designed to attach to. If you have a Coleman camper the connector is similar but different. To convert the 4-way of your Explorer to a 7-way (after installing the part # C55251), you'd want the part # ETBC7 plus a brake controller like our P3 part # 90195. Then you could use the # 37995...
view full answer... - How to Make 7-Way to 6-Way Square Adapter for Jayco CamperTo make a 7-way to 6-way square adapter will require you to get the part # 37995 to use the 6-way end and then wire up a 7-way to it like part # H20043. This will give you the adapter you would need since there isn't one already pre-made.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Adapter To Connect 2002 Jayco Popup To 2009 Acura MDXUsing adapters as you described can introduce problems if the everything is not perfectly matched and can cause problems like you are experiencing. My first recommendation is to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and test the 4-way adapter on your Acura. Have someone sit in the front of the vehicle and run through the functions. If everything checks out okay, you can go from there. You can then use a 6-way square adapter like part # 37995. I have attached a photo of the vehicle...

- Compatibility of 30104 4-Pole to 6-Way Square Trailer Connector Adapter with Motorcycle TrailerJayco used a proprietary plug on some of its trailers, which is what the # 30104 was designed for. Are you sure your trailer doesn't use a different square 6-pin connector, like part # 37995? Since the 6 pin square trailer connector is pretty much obsolete at this point, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the connector with something more common. The # 30104 only provides the 4 lighting circuits to the trailer (ground, right turn/brake lamp, left turn/brake lamp and running lamps) so...

So what that means is that the # 30104 could work for you but you'd have to cut the wires to match the different pin out which we don't have info on. Or you could cut the 6-way off of your Dutchmen and wire a standard 4-way to it instead like with the # HM48030. The 4-Way vehicle end functions will be oriented in the 4-Way as follows: Exposed pin = ground (white wire on harness) Next pin = running lights...
view full answer... - How to Make a 6-Way Square to 4-Way AdapterWe don't carry an adapter like what you are interested in, but you can pretty easily make one. You would just need a 6-way square like the part # 37995 and then a 4-way like part # HM48145 that you referenced and hardwire he two together. If your trailer happens to be a Jayco you would need to go a different route, let me know if this is the case.

I agree with you that a larger wire would be the best way to go for installation of a power wire to a trailer. The 18 gauge wiring is used to match the trailer wiring these connectors are installed on. I would change the trailer connector to match my vehicle by using a 6-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, item # 50-61-104, or a 7-Way...
view full answer... - Adapting a 6-Way Square Jayco Trailer Connector to 7-Way on VehicleThe easiest thing to do would be to replace the 6-Way square on the Jayco trailer with a 7-Way, # PK12706. You can adapt the 6-Way Jayco to the 7-Way on your vehicle. But it will take a little bit of work. First, you will need 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit # 37995 because the Jayco square plug doesn't fit any other 6-Way square. This part has both the vehicle end and the trailer end which will both be needed. Then you will need a trailer side 7-Way such as # PK12706. The...

If your trailer has a 6-way square connector, you will instead need to use the Hopkins 6-Pole Square Kit # 37995. For this you will actually need to hardwire the harness into your vehicle's 4-pole wires. The kit comes with both connection...

The best way to make your trailer and tow vehicle wiring compatible is to convert the trailers to 5-pole flat wiring. The linked page displays various trailer-side 5-pole flat connectors, like # A40W5B. You can use butt connectors # 05730-5 (one for each trailer) and dielectric grease # 11755 to make solid long-lasting connections.
