You can use a 4-way to 7-way adapter like the part # 37185 to install a Prodigy RF part # TK94FR but you have to connect the black wire of the # 37185 up to the positive post of the vehicle battery through a circuit breaker like part # 9510.

Once you do that the RF will be active and ready to go. No other wires would be needed to be ran.

On a single axle trailer you will want to have a hanger spacing of around 22-3/4 inches when using the 23-1/8 inch long Double-Eye Spring #e59SR. This will allow that rear shackle to correctly lean away from the axle for proper suspension travel.
