Expert Reply:
In order to tow a trailer with 4-flat using a motorhome with 6-square, you can either make an adapter for the motorhome or you can simply wire on a 6-way to the trailer. There isn't a pre-built adapter for this but you'll need the 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit part # 37995 regardless of which of the above two options you choose. However, if going with the latter then you'll also need the Vehicle Side 4-Way part # HM48190. This option would not require any splicing into the motorhome or trailer.
