Solution for Towing a Coleman Camper with a 6-Way Square Connector with a Tow Vehicle with 7-Way
Question:
I need to adapt from a 7 flat blade tow vehicle to a 6wire rectangular molded connector w/ round pins on an old coleman popup. Any suggestions? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The connector you have on your trailer will need to be replaced as there isn't an adapter available for your setup.
You will want to cut the 6-way round off of your trailer and replace it with a # H20043 by wiring it by function.
You would want to apply 12 volts to each of the circuits on your trailer with a jumper wire and a car battery so that you can determine their function and then wire it to the # H20043 by function.
I attached a chart that shows the colors of the wires and where they should be run on your trailer.
