Video Transcript for Wesbar 7-Way RV to 4-Way or 5-Way Flat Coiled Adapter Review

Today we'll be having a look at the Wesbar Coiled Adapter 7-Way RV to 4-Way or 5-Way Flat. It's 8 feet long. It's part number 787196. All right, here we are. Right now we're going to use our Wesbar 7-Way to a 5-Way adapter to hook up our electrical connection between our RV and our towed vehicle here. The key feature of this unit is that it adapts from a 7-Way RV connector, like we have on the back of our RV.

Down to either a 4-Way or a 5-Way flat. This will give us our turn signals, our break lights, our tail lights, and even our reverse function, which is very handy because we can also use this adapter for towing boat trailers. A lot of boat trailers have reverse lockout solenoid and need that reverse output signal to engage that solenoid so you can safely backup your boat trailer. We have these nice finger holds here to pull back on when we're ready to remove it. It gives us something extra to grip on so you don't have to pull it by the wire itself, which could cause damage. This will plug into the 4-Flat on the front of our towed vehicle here.

Now as you can see, our coiled cable here will stretch to a maximum of 8 feet in length. Now even though this cable, when it's not hooked up to anything, retracts back to a very small manner, we don't have to worry about the tension. Some of our customers have expressed concern about that, but as we found out, the tension's not strong enough to separate your connection. Our wire is coated in this durable yellow marine-grade coating giving us an ideal umbilical to use for our marine applications, for our boat trailers, or for being out in the elements, or flat towing behind our RV. The environmentally sealed 16 gauge coiled wire will prevent tangling and prevent shorts from happening inside the wire if the wires we're to break and rub together. That completes our look at the Wesbar Coiled Adapter 7-Way RV to 4-Way or 5-Way Flat that's 8 feet long.

Part number 787196.

Wesbar Coiled Adapter - 7-Way RV to 4-Way or 5-Way flat - 8' Long - 787196

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (91 Customer Reviews)

This adapter with coiled cord stretches 8' so you can connect your 7-way, RV-style, vehicle-end connector to a 4-way or 5-way flat connector on your towed vehicle or trailer.

by:

Etrailer is fantastic!! Lauren was amazing at helping us find what we needed and getting it in a timely fashion. Thank you!!



by:

Though this product is quality made, it will not fit a 4 pin flat even though it says it will fit a 4 or a 5 way flat. There is no way it will fit the 4 way with the divider in the plug.



by:

Easy to use. Just plug and go. Does not come unplugged while in tow.



by:

The Wesbar coiled adapter works fine for my needs, functioning perfectly as intended. However, with the drop hitch I need to level my tow bar with my towed vehicle, even at 8', it's a bit of a stretch. I will likely construct a custom connector in the near future, but for now, it works.

Drew G.

3/5/2018

Well, I am still using it with no problems. Never constructed a custom connector because, after a while, the unit is stretched out, so no concern about it pulling free.



by:

Great product -- I originally worried that the tension in the coiled cord might cause the 5 pin flat end to come unplugged but my concerns were unfounded. The towing rig looks much neater with the coiled cord than my previous bunched-up-and-zip-tied flat cord mess and, as a bonus, it's very easy to see this bright yellow cable in the rear view camera on our RV.

Walter B.

3/6/2017

Pretty well. I did have the trailer end come unplugged once, not when towing our Jeep Wrangler but when towing a trailer, in cold weather, so the coiled cord was not as stretchy. and the trailer was a rental, so the plug on the trailer end could have been a bit worn.



by:

This item was inexpensive but also made a huge difference in my installation for my 4 wheel down tow behind. I used the 5th connection as a power source (instead of the usual use for backup lights -or backup lock out solenoid- think hydraulic activated boat trailer brakes) to instead recharge my battery while my RV is running, having repositioning my 7 pin line on RV to match the fifth pin. However the benefit is I could eliminate the corrresponding ugly plug normally associated seen in the front grill of the towed car. In my case I used a 5 pin harness located under the hood that would remain unseen when unused but simply flipped out from under the closed hood when used. Outstanding application. coil is resilient after yr+ of use and adequate length for RV to car with typical draw bar distance to cover. Buy again, recommend, YES.



by:

Great product!!



by:

It was shipped fast



by:

I was afraid the 8 foot would be to long. But the coils are tight so it does not sag. It fits perfect. The 5 pin works just as well with a 4 pin plug. It is pictured the exact same as what I received.
The cord insulation is very tough, and thick.
I am very happy.

Rodney B.

Works great still has tight coils no sagging. Insulation still bright and tough



by:

This part is exactly what I needed. The part arrived on-time and fully intact.

Richard K.

2/10/2023

I pull a Jeep Grand Cherokee behind a Class-A motorhome. The Wesbar 7-way to 4-way coiled adapter works great. It is easy to store and easy to hook-up.



by:

I ordered a complete BlueOx towing system including Base Plate, Tow Bar, Locks, Hopkins wiring kit, Brake cable, Patriot Brake System, and covers. Everything arrived within 4-5 days with no missing parts which allowed me to install everything in one day.



by:

Purchased this to use with my RV and my UTV trailer. Its very high quality and does an excellent job of making the electrical connections from my truck and RV to my UTV trailer. I drive in a lot of adverse weather and this connector doesn't seem to wear out compared to its competitors.



by:

I ordered A Coiled Adapter to connect my trams together and I have been very pleased. The product they sell is top notch and the customer service is fantastic. Whether or not your in need of any product they still send and email to check up on their product. Not many companies care like they do!!! Would recommend etrailer to everyone !!



by:

Bought this for my 2018 Duramax. GM was kind enough to put the trailer pug in way up by the license plate. This allows me to hook up a trailer when the light wiring won’t reach. Have had it for a year and used it in all conditions. Still works great.



by:

After ordering the incorrect part, I called customer service, and was provided with the correct part....although it was on back order, it was in stock sooner than expected and sent quickly to me.....once I install the wiring harness on my Jeep, than I can connect it to my Thor Hurricane motorhome and be on my way to see the States.....Was very pleased with the company response to my problem



by:

Excellent connector. Zip tied to trailer for stability. Excellent coiled connector.



by:

Works great with our motorhome and Subaru Forester.

Larry

6/19/2018

Thanks for the follow up. All works very well and I am very satisfied with my purchase.



by:

The item arrived quickly and it was exactly as described. Good quality product. I needed an adapter from my RV's connector to the connector on my Jeep being towed and this filled the bill.



by:

So Far So Good.



by:

Now this was my fault. I should of had the flat four prong end... switched with the round (lock in) end.
But I took it to a reputable trailer repair and the switched it for a few bucks.
I'm just anal....I wanted it " locked" into the outlet.....



by:

Came quickly, good quality!!



by:

This is a cheaper option. This connector never really “plugged” in easily, and was not as flexible as I had expected it to be. It worked, but really wasn’t high quality. After 3-4 trips I spent the $100.00 bucks and bought a top brand. No comparison...



by:

George J set me up with everything I needed to tow my Ford truck "wheels down" behind my Winnebago. I'm a total rookie re this Motor home business, but etrailer took good care of me and I got these items for the right price. Looking forward to some great times with this rigging.



by:

All installation instructions were clear, all parts were in box and the ease of installation was rewarded with it working first time.



by:

Advertised as 4 or 5 flat. Incorrect. Will not fit 4 flat

This does indeed fit a four way flat. I have an article below for your convenience.

  • Can the 2nd Motorhome Kit # RM-98850 Be Used on a Motorhome with 7-way and Towed Vehicle with 4-Way
    All you would need is the correct adapter to go from the 7-way of your motorhome to the 4-way of your tow vehicle. For that I would recommend the Coiled Adapter part # 787196.

  • Recommendation For 7-Way RV To 4-Way Flat Connector For Tow Vehicle
    Since your RV already has a 7-Way connector, the Wesbar Coiled Adapter-7-Way to 4-Way or 5-Way Flat, Item # 787196, will work if your 2002 Jeep TJ is already wired for flat towing. If your Jeep is not yet wired for flat towing then I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, Item # RM-154, which will have everything you need to connect your Jeep's tail lights and wiring systems to your RV system while preventing feedback from your RV. You may already have these things...

  • 7-Way Plug and Lead Recommendation for a Trailer
    The Coiled Adapter # 787196 has 5 wires that run through it. A ground wire, a running light wire, a left stop/turn wire, a right stop/turn wire, and an auxiliary wire usually run to the reverse light circuit of a vehicle. For what you are doing you would be better off using a 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20046 since it has all 7 circuits and the brake output circuit wire has 12 gauge wire instead of the 16 gauge wire of the # 78716 which would not be sufficient.

  • Longest 7-Way to 4-Way Flat Tow Bar Wiring Extender
    I took a look, and the longest available 7-way to 4-way coiled adapter is indeed the 8 foot long Wesbar Coiled Adapter - 7-Way RV to 4-Way or 5-Way Flat # 787196. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.

  • Recommended Coiled Adapter To Connect 7-Way Round On Motorhome To 4-Way On 2014 Jeep
    We do have the coiled adapter you need. It is the Wesbar Coiled Adapter, part # 787196. This adapter will connect to the 7-way on your motorhome and you can plug the 4-way flat connector on the front of your Jeep into the other end. This coiled adapter is 8 ft long, which should be plenty for you.

  • Recommended Base Plates and Braking System to Flat Tow A 2016 or 2017 Ford Edge
    For a 2016 or 2017 Ford Edge, I'd recommend the Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # BX2667 for SE and SEL models excluding 2.0L EcoBoost. These base plates are a custom fit for specific vehicles, so depending on what vehicle trim/model you purchase, you will want to make sure you get the right base plates. I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency Portable Braking System # BLU37TR for your braking needs. This is a proportional braking system that will give you full-power emergency...

  • Will Wesbar Coiled Adapter 787196 work with 4-Way
    Since your truck has a 4-way and your trailer a 7-way you actually would want the part # 37185 as the 4-way of the # 787196 is the wrong side for a truck.

  • Wiring Adapter Recommendation to go From RV 7-Way to Toad 4-Way for Lighting
    Sounds like you are asking how to hook up the magnetic tow bar wiring you have to your RV that has a 7-way flat RV connector. Your RV having separate turn signals from stoplights will not be an issue. The 7-way on your RV will already have the turn signal circuits converted to combined so that it matches your tow bar wiring. If you have a 7-way flat connector on your tow vehicle you would want the part # 787196. If your lights have a 4-way round you would need part # HM47043 instead.

  • Car Hauler trailer Wiring
    For you to retain the functions of the electric brakes on your car hauler trailer you will need to use a connector that will carry the power for all of the functions from the vehicle. For what you are doing you would be better off using a 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20046 since it has all 7 circuits and the brake output circuit wire has 12 gauge wire. I have attached a video that shows how to replace the 7-pole connector you can check out.

  • Recommended Tow-Bar Wiring Harness For 2014 Jeep Wrangler
    The tow bar wiring I recommend for your 2014 Wrangler is the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit, part # HM56200. This system is not used with the 4-way connector you have on your Jeep for towing. Our installers have found that the trailer towing harness you have on your Jeep will need to be un-installed so that the flat-tow wiring harness can work properly. This kit plugs into the wiring behind the tail lights on your Jeep. You then just run the 4-way connector up to the front of the...

  • How To Use the Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System with 7-Way On Motorhome
    If you wanted to use the Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System with 4-Pole Connector part # TR118821 with a 7-way trailer connector on the motorhome you'd need an adapter. If you wanted to also upgrade the umbilical that goes between the motorhome and toad you can use the Wesbar Coiled Adapter part # 787196 which also doubles as the adapter. The Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat part # 18144 can then be used to secure the 4-way on the Tow Ready harness.

  • Recommended Complete System for Flat Towing a 2016 Hyundai Accent
    Based on what I can find, if you have a manual transmission you can Flat Tow a 2016 Hyundai Accent. If you have an Automatic Transmission, it will need to be towed with a dolly. I'd recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs, # RM-2050-1, because it has some cool features like a deck platform that swivels 9 degrees for tight cornering. It includes all of the lighting and the 4 way connector, however a 7 way connector is required to activate the dolly's brakes,...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2006 Jeep Grand-Cherokee Behind RV
    Safe and legal flat towing of a vehicle behind a RV requires a number of components. A tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit, base plates and a braking system for the towed car are essential items; a high/low hitch adapter and wiring extension are also often required. The linked article covers each of these in detail and this is a great place to start getting familiar with the requirements. For base plates I recommend the Blue Ox # BX1123 which will fit your Grand Cherokee as long...

  • Custom Tow Bar Wiring Harness for Flat Towing 2008 Jeep Commander Behind Motorhome
    For your 2008 Jeep Commander, the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, part # HM56205 is what you are looking for. This harness easily plugs into your vehicle's existing wiring, located behind your Jeep's tail light assemblies. No cutting, tapping, or splicing is required. If your motorhome uses a standard 7-way connector, you can use coiled adapter # 787196 to connect to the 4-Way on # HM56205. With this harness hooked up for flat towing, your Jeep's lighting system...

  • Coiled Tow Bar Wiring Extension to Go from a 7-Way to a 4-Way Flat
    Yes, the tow bar wiring harness # HM56008 will work as a combined system, with the brake lights and turn signals on the same circuits. You could use ta 7-Way to 4-Way adapter either directly in the 7-Way on the RV or at the end of a coiled extension. But I was able to find a nice long coiled cable to go from a 7-Way to a 4-Way, # 787196.

  • Flat Towing Parts Recommendation for a 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
    For a base plate for your 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle you would want the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 521225-1 that will also work with the Roadmaster Tow Bar part # RM-020 that you referenced. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. For a 7-way to 4-way umbilical you will also need the #...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4 Wheel Drive
    For flat towing your 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD you actually need a base plate kit and not a front hitch. A base plate kit is specifically designed for use while flat towing whereas front hitches are not designed for recreational towing. You would need the part # 1159-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety...

  • What is the Wire Gauge Used in the Coiled Adapter - 7-Way Flat Pin Blade to 5-Flat # 787196
    A coiled cable would have to be a bit thinner in order to efficiently coil and also not be bulky and heavy. But the outer cable is not as important as the wires on the inside. In this adapter, # 787196, the wires are 16 gauge. This is very common for trailer wiring accessories. Wesbar does make a good product so I think you will like this adapter.

  • Availability of Flat Towing Umbilical Cable Longer Than 3 Feet in Length
    We do offer some longer coiled cables that would work for you. Wesbar offers a 7-way to 5-pole coiled adapter, that will also work fine for a 4-pole. For a 3 foot length, use part # HM47025. For an 8 foot length, use part # 787196.

  • 7-Way to 4-Way Flat Adapter for Tow Bar that is At Least 6 Feet Long
    Best solution would be the Wesbar Coiled 7-Way to 5-way part # 787196 which is 8 foot long when stretched. While this has a 5-way and you need only a 4-way it will still work great. There would just be an extra pin hanging over on the adapter side of the connection.
