Expert Reply:
The Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole and 4 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, # 37175, is the correct adapter for this application.
Basically, you plug your RV wiring into the 4 Flat side of the 6 Pole and wire the two extra circuits needed into the RV wiring.
You will also need two extra wires, Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire - per Foot, # 10-2-1, if your towed vehicle requires the extra circuits. The two extra circuits could be for any number of applications such as tow vehicle braking, 12-volt accessory power, etc.
I have included a wiring information link below.
