If you already have a 6-way square connecter on your camper, the best thing for you to do is to remove the 6 way-square connector and replace it with a 7-way connector. The 6-way square plug is an unique plug. When you cut off the 6 way square plug and connect The Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End # PK12706. Then you would connect the wires to the new 7 way like below. Before cutting off the 6 way plug I would test the wires to see what goes where first.
The center pin will not be used.
1 o'clock position = 12 V Power
3 o'clock position = right turn and brake lights
5 o'clock position = out to electric brakes
7 o'clock position = ground
9 o'clock position = left turn and brake
11 o'clock position = tail lights
I will attach a review video link below.
