4-Way to 7-Way/4-Way Adapter that Has Both Connectors Active at Same Time
Question:
Can you run 2 things off this at the same time ie. my towed vehicle and separate set of magnet lights? I just installed a 4 pin on my 2020 escape hybrid and the power does not pass through to the back lights form my motorhome so if I put this in will it work?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Hopkins 7-Way adapter part # HM47570 would have both the 4-way and 7-way of it active at the same time so you could use both at same time if needed. Now with that said this is probably not the adapter you are looking for since you said you have a 4-way now and this is designed to plug into a 7-way. Instead the adapter you'd want is the part # 37185 which plugs into a 4-way and gives it an active 4-way and 7-way like you are wanting.
