Solution for Towing a European Trailer with a US Spec Tow Vehicle
Question:
I am active duty military stationed in Europe and I drive a US specification vehicle with a 7-blade RV trailer light socket. Is the 7-pin socket on part #47595 compatible with EU trailer lighting plugs? If not, do you sell a part which is? If not, do you sell a 7-blade plug which I can wire to a locally acquired EU socket? Thanks in advance

Expert Reply:
The only solution I could help you with would be the third option you listed. You would want a trailer side 7-way like part # H20042 to wire up to an EU socket found local to create an adapter to use your US spec vehicle with EU trailer wiring. I attached a chart that labels the functions of the wires on this connector.
The Adapter 7 Way (Blade) to 7 Way (Round Pin) # 47595 that you referenced is not an adapter for EU wiring nor do we offer any adapters for EU trailers or vehicles.
