Can 4-Pole and 7-Way Vehicle Connectors Be Used At the Same Time
Question:
Will this camera work , as I plug it in the 4 way trailer connector and have my travel trailer plugged in the 7 way at the same time ? Will there be any interference since both connectors are used at the same time ?

Expert Reply:
If your tow vehicle has a combination trailer connector like # HM48470 or # HM40920 or # HM40950 that has both 7-way blade and 4-pole flat type connection options you can use both at once. In connectors like these both connector formats are joined in parallel so both remain active at the same time to allow you to connect a backup camera and also your trailer's 7-way plug.
