How to Replace a 7-Blade Trailer Connector on Both Vehicle and Trailer
Question:
I am looking to purchase a trailer connector adapter. What is on my truck in a 6 round male so I need a 6 round female and the camper has a 7 round female, so I need 7 round male. do you sell a 6 round female with a 7 round male?

Generally speaking, the vehicle side trailer connector is referred to as the female plug whereas the trailer side trailer connector is referred to as the male plug. I have attached a few photos to give you a better idea of what I mean. If the terminology you used is correct then we do not have the correct trailer connector adapter for you.
I have attached a list of all the trailer connector adapters we offer but your best option would be to rewire both the vehicle side and trailer side connectors to accept a more standard plug like a 7-blade. For this, I recommend using part # PK12-707E for the vehicle and part # PK12706 for the trailer. You can also use part # PK12711U to mount the vehicle side trailer connector.
I have attached an install video of each trailer connector for you as well.
