If you have the round connector like what is in the picture I attached all you would need to install a 7-way would be the part # HM40975. I attached an install video for this product for you to check out.
Now if you do not have any trailer wiring currently you would need to start with a 4-way like part #
118392 that you referenced.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
