The RoadMaster 6-Wire Flexo-Coil we offer comes in a kit as part # RM-146. This extension comes with the vehicle-end connector to mount to the RV and towed vehicle. I have attached an installation video of these connectors being installed on a 2014 Honda CR-V.

If you do not need the vehicle-end 6-pin connectors, you could use the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Extension # HM47055. I have attached a review video of this extension for you.

You can absolutely wire up a 3-wire breakaway switch like the Hopkins LED Breakaway Switch with 7" Lead Wires #HM20059 to replace your 2-wire switch; the difference is that the 3-wire switch has a dedicated ground wire while the 2-wire switch…

Yes, you can use a 3-wire breakaway switch like part #HM20059 in place of a 2-wire breakaway switch like part #HM20010. The connections will be the same and the only differences is that the 2-wire switch grounds through the mounting hardware whereas…
