Can 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector Connect to Roadmaster 6-Way # RM-910030-6

Question

Question:

I want to use the 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 8foot Long Item # H20046 to connect my RV to my tow vehicle. It will be used to power the tow vehicle lights and also provide a 12v line to keep towed vehicle battery charged. It lists the 12v line as a #10 gauge wire. Will this #10 wire fit into the RoadMaster 6-Wire Connectors - Trailer and Vehicle Ends Item # RM-910030-6 connectors? Thank you.

Yes, the terminals of the RoadMaster 6-Way connector and socket part # RM-910030-6 are compatible with 10 gauge wire like what comes with the # H20046.

The center pin of the 6-way is the 12 volt accessory circuit and the ground is the circuit in the 2:00 position as you look into the opening of the connector.

The 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector part #H20044 is pretty much the same thing as the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable part #H20046. They will both work well to replace the 7-way trailer connector on a trailer.

Answer 8

Circuit breaker #9510 is self-resetting. If it trips due to an overload situation it will keep trying to cycle back on until the overload is resolved. So you won't have to replace it or do anything!

The yellow wire on the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable #H20046 will not be able to charge an on-board battery, it should really be used for reverse lights. To charge the auxiliary battery on your trailer the best option is to use a…
