Question:

Expert Reply:
To have the functions of your trailer dolly and the functions of your vehicle lights, you will need to have a 7-way connector on your motorhome that also has a 4-way like the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 4-Way Flat to 7-Way RV Trailer Adapter w/ 4-Way Vehicle End Plug # HM47180. You can cut wires or use the pigtail # PK11998 for this wiring connection on your motorhome.
You can then use the 7-way for the dolly and then use the 4-way of the same connector for your vehicle lights. You can use the Hopkins Tail Light Isolating Diode System with Wiring Harness # 38955 to utilize your factory wiring or you can use magnetic lights like the Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit - Weatherproof - Red Lens - 20' Wiring Harness # TLL21RK
