I do have an option for you but there is no easy way to tow a trailer with a Euro 7-way using a vehicle with a US 7-way. They do not make any sort of adapter for this to my knowledge and the only option I can offer you is to remove the Euro 7-way trailer connector from the trailer and install a US 7-way trailer connector. For this you are going to need both a converter box part # 118158 and trailer connector part # H20042.
On your trailer there should be the following wires:
Yellow: Left Turn Signal
Blue: Fog
White: Ground
Green: Right Turn Signal
Brown: Right Tail Light
Red: Brake Light
Black: Left Tail Light
When converting these wires for use with the US 7-way trailer connector you will need to make the following connections:
Euro Yellow = US Yellow
Euro Blue = Null
Euro White = US White
Euro Green = US Green
Euro Brown + Euro Euro Black = US Brown
Euro Red = US Red
