by:

Routine trailer maintenance. Absolutely nothing worse than fighting trailer lighting or electric brake issues when traveling.



by:

I installed this connector on my travel trailer. The original connector had become loose and would fall out if not retained by the tab on the bottom of the connector. After a year of usage The Pollack connector still snaps into place and fits tight. Good product.



by:

Exact product that I was expecting. Quality trailer connector.

Still working as intended. No issues.



by:

Not sure if this one is defective or what but all of the blades are very loose. Haven’t wired up yet so I don’t know if it will work or not. Disappointed in product. Expected better from Pollak 12706. Have a Hopkins and all blades are tight.

Huh, that is odd. Luckily, this connector comes apart. You should be able to use the set screws and be able to tighten up the blades. For now, let me get you over to customer service.



by:

Used as a replacement for original connector that didn't have a positive fit. This one clicks in and provides confidence of a snug fit.



by:

Product so far has worked great for a pinched/cut OEM 7pin cord. It isnt weatherproof like an OEM connector to the cord-as well as the female end of the connector but then its just the connector so totally sealed is not the design for this. It works fine & currently has saved me from having to purchase a connector & wire cord as 1 piece & some shennagins with installing that set up.



by:

The terminals are a little to small and lightweight for heavier wires.



by:

It's a good plug and easy to wire with internal screw terminals. However, there's no real weatherproof seal to the cable or bundled wiring that you're inserting into the plug. It's going to get wet inside the plug, leading to possible short circuits unless you seal the cable entry well with RTV or dry it out regularly and/or take it apart once and a while to make sure there's no corrosion on the terminals. A lot of plugs are like this which is why the manufacturers use a molded plug/cable assembly for the trailer connector cable.



by:

Great jack for the money! Much better than the jacks that come on most utility trailers that wear out quickly.



by:

Using this product to replace inputs from a straight-4 hookup plus add'l wires from a supplemental light system for my truck. Works exactly as advertised; saves me a lot of hassle. Installer must have some rudimentary electrical-connection knowledge.

You must also know which of the seven contacts does what for your vehicle to install this correctly; should be in your car/truck's manual.

Four instead of 5 stars just because the entrance/exit hole for wires needs supplementation to make it water-tight.

Product is easily worth the money and functions exactly as one would expect.



by:

Works perfectly and plugs in just fine to original equipment



by:

Quality product, reasonably priced, I keep a extra one to have on hand.



by:

Showed up in acceptable condition, refused order. Parts missing. Have not heard back yet for replacement of order

That is not good! I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them to get you your missing parts.



by:

I have this same plug (PK 12706) on the Boat Trailer and it works perfect, and never disconnects or shorts. Now I'm putting this same plug on the Snowmobile Trailer. I'll let you know if I have any problems. Anything to do with trailer issues I always contact eTrailer Company first.
Thanks,
Ron



by:

the proses was so easy and great pricing



by:

Item arrived on time and was as described on the website.



by:

Works great



by:

This was a great deal. I was switching from and old style 6 pin. What I really like was the size of the wire clamps and screws. Because of this I was able to fit 10 gauge wires in the 12V +-locations for better/ faster battery charging in my camper while driving.



by:

Excellent place to purchase quality par ts.



by: 05/18/2023

Decided to install this myself after getting quotes for $1100.00.
Now I know why they charge so much. But with the help of etrailer's
video's the install went as planned and works great.
Thanks etrailer.



by:

Quick delivery...I have used this product before from eTrailer....works great.



by:

Parts work gread! I use this one with a receptacle on my Kubota tractor for powering my utility trailer electric brakes and for an auxiliary power outlet for my 16 gallon electric sprayer

Clifton

Continues to work well...both for the trailer and the sprayer rig.....

This was an exact replacement for the one that had broken. Its even labeled inside for what color wires attach to what terminal. Can not go wrong here.

Still working out great after 1 year. No issues. Stock OEM replacement.

  • How Do I Wire My Trailer For Brakes That Already Has Brakes
    What you will need to do is run a wire from the front of the trailer to each brake location. You will need 10 gauge blue primary wire, part # 10-1-1, which is sold by the foot. I would recommend measuring where you will be running the wire to order the correct amount, and it would be a good idea to order a couple extra feet so that you are not short of wiring. Start by leaving the wire loose at the front of the trailer and run to the farthest rear brake assembly on either side. Cut the...

  • Best Way to Tow a 2014 Buick Encore Behind an RV
    According to an online owner's manual I found your 2014 Buick Encore cannot be flat towed. Meaning it cannot be towed with all four wheels on the ground. If you have the all-wheel-drive Encore it must be towed on a trailer. However, if you have the front-wheel-drive model it can be towed on a dolly with the front wheels off the ground. You should check your owner's manual to verify all of this. If you're able to use a dolly the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 is great option. The...

  • Truck Bed Wiring Harness For 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty For Slide-In Camper
    To connect to the plug on your 2019 Ford F-250's truck bed camper, what you will do is use a 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring harness. The best location really depends on the camper, but most find positioning the harness towards the rear of the bed (closer to the tailgate) to be difficult because of limited clearance, so further forward in the bed would be the better option. For that you'll want a longer, 10 foot plug-in harness: - Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector...

If you have an automatic transmission then you need to use a tow dolly.

  • Can 7-way Connector Be Replaced Without Replacing The Cord?
    You can replace just the 7-way connector plug on your RV by using the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End # PK12706. I do recommend removing the wires from your current connector one at a time, and immediately connect them to the same location on the new connector to make sure everything gets installed correctly. The color of the wires on trailers are not standardized so you will not want to just install the connector based on the colors. I included...

    Since you have issues with two different adapters, it is likely that the wiring for your trailer is not matching the way the 7-way blade connector on your 2007 Ford F-750 is wired. To keep from having more issues your best bet is to replace the 7-way round connector on your trailer with the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End # PK12706 eliminating the need for an adapter. You will need to test the functions of each wire going to the 7-round connector...

  • Fuse Position to Activate Accessory Power and Brake Control Power on a 2008 Chevy Avalanche
    If my memory serves me right the fuse positions for the auxiliary power posts under the dash on a 2008 Chevrolet truck or SUV are the closest two square fuse slots in the front end of the power distribution box, see photo link. The best way to test those power posts is to use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993, if needed. Ground the lead from the tester and touch each power post independently. If the tester lights, then the fuse is in the proper location. If not, a square fuse should be inserted....

  • Recommended Surge Brake Actuator For Drum Brakes To Replace Older Atwood 61101 Actuator
    I would be happy to help! You are correct that the Demco 8605001 is a direct replacement for your Atwood 61101 Surge Brake Actuator, but the 8605001 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and replaced with the # DM72VR you mentioned. The key differences between the 8605001 and # DM72VR are that the # DM72VR has a slightly higher weight capacity at 7000lbs and uses an EZ latch coupler mechanism as you mentioned, but will still be a direct replacement for your current actuator.

    I would be happy to help, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try before diving into replacing the 7-way connector on your trailer. First using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 test the 5 o'clock pin on the # C57674 while a friend activates the manual override lever on your trailer brake controller.

  • Adding 12 Volt Power to a Jayco Camper Towed by a 2006 Ford F-150 with Factory 4-Way
    Since the trailer you have is a Jayco, the Adapter 4 Way Flat to 6 Way Square, # 30104, should fit the truck and pop up camper just fine. However, this adapter is taking the basic lighting functions from the 4-Way on the truck and converting them to the configuration used by the Jayco plug. You will have left and right turn signals, brake lights, and running lights. Because a 4-Way plug does not have a 12 volt power function, it will not provide 12 volt power to the camper. Adding a...

    From the online research that I did, I found that the curb weight (or unloaded weight) of your 2010 Lexus RX-350 is 4,178 lbs - 4,343 lbs. The highest rated tow dolly that we have to offer is the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Self-Steering Wheels and Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1 which is rated for 4,250 lbs. Since the weight range of your RX-350 is within the limits of the tow dolly you will be able to use it but you will want to verify the curb weight of your RX-350 just to be sure and I highly...

  • Determining Wire Functions on Trailer Side 6-Way Connector
    Most likely the red wire on your trailer side 6-Way connector is for the electric brake circuit, as this is what the blue wire would normally be. With that being said, wire color is not always the best and most accurate indicator of their function, as it's possible that somebody has replaced the original trailer wiring or the trailer manufacturer simply used different colors for this trailer.

    The 4 pole on your vehicle isn't capable of carrying an additional circuit to maintain your camper battery. Since the 6 pin square plug on your camper is pretty much obsolete, I'd recommend you remove it and replace it with a 7-way connector like # PK12706 and install a 7-way on the vehicle. A 7-way is much more common, which is why I'd recommend it. Keep in mind that the accessory circuit on the 7-way can maintain a trailer mounted battery, but will not be able to recharge it once it's...

  • Trailer Brakes Not Working on One Side
    If only one side of your trailer brakes aren't working, and the magnets are going bad, it's an issue with the wiring on the trailer or the trailer connector itself in all likelihood. A bad 7-way on the trailer side can cause shorts to happen which can lead to this issue, and corrosion or dirt may have built up. Check the plug to see if there is any type of corrosion built up that may be hampering its functionality, and if so, replace with Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector...

    If your 2007 VW Beetle is a manual transmission it can be towed with your Demco Excalibar tow bar and the base plates # DM9518071. It is not recommended to tow above 65 mph. For your electrical connection I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and then the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 for the supplemental braking system required in almost all states.

    The distance from the coupler center to the axle center is 94" for the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 that you referenced. This comes out to 7' and 10" long. This is a great tow dolly option that features a weight capacity of 4,250 lbs. A 4-Way flat connector is already installed for your basic lighting functions, but if you want to activate the electric brakes then you will need to just off the 4-Way connector and install a 6-Way # PK11604 or a 7-Way # PK12706.

    The 7-way trailer wiring format include an auxiliary 12V power circuit that is typically rated for 30 or 40-amps, depending on whether the install is factory or aftermarket. I checked the online manual for the 2016 Ram and page 841 indicates the auxiliary power circuit is protected with a 30-amp pink fuse in fuse cavity F30. This will give you plenty of capacity for your lift's 5-amp draw.

They recommend either using a flat-bed or a tow dolly to transport your vehicle.

    I went out to the warehouse and pulled Fastway Tethered 7-Way Trailer Connector Cover # FA82-00-3315 to measure it for you. The inside diameter is approximately 1.57 inches in diameter which is just a hair over 1-9/16 inches. It is not the easiest to measure since it is pliable rubber which is why the measurement is approximate. It fits over a standard trailer side 7-Way connector like # PK12706.

This will allow you to use the quick connect wire and run that wire to your grill or wheel well for easy connection.
