Recommended Replacement Trailer Connector Socket for Factory 7 Way
Question:
I am looking for a replacement RV plug for my factory setup. All I need is the female portion truck side. The plug is still operable but the spring loaded cap has broken off allowing the trailer plug to fall out under gravity. My setup is factory and has a quick detachable plug from the factory wiring. Do you sell just this part?

Expert Reply:
I recommend you use the Hopkins connector, # HM40975, because it comes with a 7-Way and a 4-Way and also comes with a bracket. The connection at the back is made to fit the factory harness on a your vehicle that came with a factory 7-Way. I have included a link to a video that shows a typical installation for you.
