Hopkins Nite-Glow Tow Bar Extension Cord w/ Socket Recommendation for RV Towing Vehicle
Question:
I currently have a 7 to 4 flat connection from my motorhome to my tow vehicle. Im finding the flat plug is getting corroded, difficult to plug in and not working half the time b/c of a bad connection. Im thinking of having them change out the vehicle plug to a 4 round. specifically Im looking at the Hopkins coil HM 47044. Could you tell me if this would be an easy switch for them to figure out the correct wires?

Sounds like your dinghy vehicle is getting corrosion in it's tow bar lighting connector from driving the vehicle in inclement weather. If you wanted to go with the kit part # HM47044 that would be a great solution to give you a new umbilical from the tow vehicle to the dinghy and a new 4-way for the dinghy as well.
If you can I would try to mount the 4-way out of the direct path of possible rain or spray from other vehicles.
