To replace your 5th wheel trailer's 7-way connector and cord you will want the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable item # H20046. This cable is 8' long and has a 7-way trailer connector plug attached.

I have linked an installation video below.

We also have this cord and connector available in different lengths if 8' doesn't work for you.

4 Foot - Item # H20043

11 Foot - Item # HM20048

18 Foot - Item # 50-67-106
