How To Install a 4 and 7-Way Trailer Connector On a Bus
Question:
I have a 2002 Bluebird TC2000 Front Engine Bus. I am looking to get install a trailer plugs both 7 way and 4 way. The 7 way harness will be used in flat towing a vehicle. The bus has separate tail, brake and signal lights. I have a the motorhome power kit for powering the braking system already. What harness will be required on the bus side?

In order to install a 7-way with 4-way trailer connector on a bus with separate stop and turn signals you'll first need a 4-way with powered module, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit part # 119178KIT is what I recommend. This can then be adapted to a 7-way with 4-way using the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. There may also be a need to extend some of the wire depending on which circuits you'll be activating.
