The short answer is yes, you can simply plug in your 4-way to the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185 and not use any other wiring. Just keep in mind the only functions that will work are the same functions the 4-way gives. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out of the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185.
If your trailer does have electric brakes that you want to utilize, you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7.
This includes the same adapter as well as the rest of the wiring needed to utilize a trailer brake controller.
