Installing a 4 and 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 1999 Ford Van Cut Away RV
Question:
Im trying to figure out if there might be a T harness available for my Shuttle Bus? Ive looked through several Ford harnesss with no luck. Granted it might be unique to the manufacture. The main harness comes down the frame and splits into 2 pig tails and then disappear. Its is 3/4 round with one side flat and each pig tail has 4 wires, the wire diameter is bigger than what you would expect for tail lights.

We have a help article that explains how you would go about installing a 7-Way trailer connector on a Ford full size van, or in this case an RV cutaway built on the van chassis. It very well could be different on the cut away models but there are no custom fit options made specifically for the cut away models.
If the van did not come with a factory installed 7 or 4-Way connector then you will have to start by hardwiring in a 4-Way using T-connector # 118344. Then to install a 7-Way you will need installation kit # ETBC7. I have also included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation.
