I do have a solution for you but it a little unorthodox. First, you will need to use a 7-Way to 4-Way adapter like # PK12716. With the 7-Way now converter down to a 4-way, you can use the 4-Way to 6-Way round adapter # A10-6034VP and then use the 6 pole round to 6 pole square adapter, # HM47415.
To make it more like one large adapter, you can use dielectric grease, # 11755, between the connections on the adapters and then use electrical tape to wrap up where they are joined.
This will only give you the basic lighting functions on the trailer.
