Expert Reply:
You would need an adapter like part # 37185 to convert the existing 4-pole connector to a 7-way.
The adapter has a 4-pole connector on it that would plug into the existing 4 pole on your vehicle, with 4 additional wires that would need to be connected (see provided photo).
If your camper is equipped with electric brakes, you will need a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90085 to actuate them. Using our Brake Controller Install Kit, # ETBC7 would be your best bet in this case because it includes the # 37185 adapter mentioned above. In addition to the adapter, the Kit contains all necessary hardware, wire and circuit breakers to complete the installation.
I will link you to some FAQ article that contain more information about brake controllers, as well as the instructions for the install kit.
