Hopkins 7-Way and 6-Way Trailer Connector Universal Mounting Bracket Review Video

If applying the manual over-ride lever on your Hopkins trailer brake controller, such as the Agility #HM47295, sends brake power back to your Tundra's 7-way then you know the circuit is functioning. You can test by having a helper press the lever…

If you just need a 4-pin to 7-pin trailer wiring adapter, then you can use part #C57672. This will plug into the 4-pin trailer connector on your brother's vehicle and give him the 7-pin socket for the trailer. Keep in mind, this will only give…

The Ford Explorer has a 6-pin connector behind the glove box on the passenger's side. The port behind the glove box is shown in the video of the Trailer Brake Controller Installation on 2004 Ford Explorer that I have included. You can see it at…

All of the trailer connector mounting brackets we carry are made to accept the standard sizes used in the states so I cannot guarantee that any of them will work with a European 13-Way trailer connector. The most likely candidate is the Mounting…

Actually, both of the hitches we offer for a 2006 Ford Explorer are designed to mount below a factory hitch with a Class II 1-1/4 inch opening. I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Round Tube Trailer Hitch, item #75437, because it will do exactly as…

The length of the mounting brackets for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #14053 is 15-1/8" as you can see from the attached photo. Since the frame is extended past the regular body length it could very well affect the towing capacity of your…

There are a number of bike racks that have been rated for use on the back of 5th wheels and motor homes. I recommend going with the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack #Y02476 which works on 2" hitches. With the Yakima, you get a high quality product…

If your camper has a frame width between 22 and 66 inches the Curt #C13704 would potentially work as it can bolt on and has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity.
