You can use the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 on your motorhome that has a 6-pole wiring connector by using an adapter # 337TC1067P. You will just want to confirm the function/pin configuration on the motorhome socket to verify that the center pin carries the 12V auxiliary power circuit. If you apply a circuit tester like # PTW2992 to this center pin and detect continuous 12V then the adapter will work fine. If you have a small 12V light bulb or a volt meter those can be used to test also.

The other option, which is a better choice from a long-term reliability perspective, is to remove the 7-way plug from the tow bar cable and replace it with a 6-pole # RM-910030-8.

You can refer to the linked diagram for the correct function/pin assignments on both connectors.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
