Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit Review Video

Some different brand names of trailer breakaway kits do originate from a common source, and this is also true for items like jacks, landing gear and steps. There really is not a lot to distinguish one from another, since their component parts are…

I have attached the installation instructions for the Hopkins Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit, part #20099. This kit includes a charger and an LED tester and will work with single and tandem axle trailers. I have also attached a link to an…

It sounds like you're trying to find a replacement axle for your trailer. In order to do that you'll want to also take into account the width of the tires/wheels you intend to use, along with the spindle length. With this in mind, you…

You can still use axle #T3584F-EZ-8974 if the spring seat centers match up like you said. The hub face to hub face measurement is only off 1/2 inch on each side which isn't going to cause you any problems.

In regards to the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit part #20400, there are only two wires with the black being power so it should be run to the positive battery terminal and the blue being brake output so it should be run to the…

The Optronics 7-Way Connector - Trailer End #A7WCB will handle 8-gauge wires on the positive and negative connectors. If you want the same gauge wire on the vehicle side, I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End…

I do have something that will work for you. The Mighty Cord 7-Way RV-Style Trailer Connector w/ Molded Cable - Trailer End - 6' Long, part #A10-7W6, is the same style 7-way cord as the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector w/ Molded Cable and LED Test…

You can wire the Hopkins 7 Way Molded Trailer Plug #HM20048 in whichever manner you see fit- the colored wires in the loom are color coded to make it easy for you to know which pin/blade they're connected to, so you shouldn't need to…

There isn't really a lot of differences between the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable - 8' Long - RV Standard #H20046 and Hopkins 7-Way Blade Style Connector with Molded Cable - 8' Long - Auto Standard #HM20041. Both are…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
