Expert Reply:
If the trailer you plan to tow was intended to be towed with a motorcycle you would not need a converter as the wiring would either already be converted on the trailer or it would be wired the same. Now if the trailer was intended to be towed with a car then yes you would need a converter like part # RM-732 to go from the separate style of wiring on your trailer to combined.
