Review of Hopkins Trailer Wiring - 7 Way to 4 Way Wiring Adapters - 47015- Video

Review of Hopkins Trailer Wiring - 7 Way to 4 Way Wiring Adapters - 47015

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Hopkins seven-way to four-way adapter with the flex coil wire and the night glow feature. Now not all trailer couples and vehicle hitches are the same height so because of this, some vehicles might require extra length on the trailer wiring to plug into the tow vehicle and provide enough slack for your turning radius. This nice flex coil adaptor can stretch up to three feet and it provides that extra reach while ensuring that the wire does not drag on the ground due to the nice flex coil design. This adapter will plug into the seven-way on your tow vehicle and an extend to plug into the four-way on your trailer. It will give you the stop, turn and taillight functions when it's plugged in. more

Review of CURT Trailer Wiring - 4-Way Flat To 7-Way Socket Adapter - C26DR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt 4-Way Flat to 7-Way Socket Adapter. This adapter is going to convert the 4-way flat trailer connector on your vehicle to a 7-way socket, and the 4-way flat trailer end is going to plug into the 4-way flat on your vehicle, and the socket plugs into a 7-way RV blade connector, and that connector is sold separately. So this is going to enable the installation of a Curt Echo brake controller on 4-flat vehicles. Now, to install, this is going to be a relatively simple install, you wanna locate your vehicle's 4-way flat harness and attach it to the 7-way harness, and if the harness is in the hatch or in the trunk of your vehicle, you will need to route the 4-way flat to the outside of the vehicle, and this can be done by routing through a grommet in the trunk or hatch area, potentially, under your spare tire. Next, you do want to run a power wire from the battery to the black wire on this harness and splice it together. This black wire is going to get connected to one end of this included bundle of black wire, and using one of the included butt connectors, you're just going to connect these two wires together, and then the other end of this bundle is going to get routed to your vehicle's battery. more

Curt Trailer Connector Adapter Installation - 2022 Hyundai Tucson

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the Curt 4 to 7 and 4-pole adapter on a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Now having 4-pole trailer wiring on your vehicle is great because you get your turn signals, your brake lights, and running lights on the trailer, but sometimes you are towing a trailer that has a 7-pole and then you're kind of stuck without that lighting function unless you have an adapter and there's a bunch of different styles available. But this is a really nice way to ensure that you're not gonna have to worry about carrying an adapter with you because we are able to have both. So we have our 7-way here with a spring-loaded cap that's gonna keep it nice and closed when we're not using it, so it's gonna stay nice and clean. And the same goes for the 4-pole here that mounts up to the bracket. It's got a nice little cap here, so if you're hooking up to your 4-pole, no problem, and your 7-way it's gonna be right there. more

Curt Trailer Connector Adapter Installation - 2016 Ram ProMaster 2500- Video

Curt Trailer Connector Adapter Installation - 2016 Ram ProMaster 2500

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at the Curt 4 to 7-way adapter, also with a 4 flat pole, on a 2016 Ram ProMaster 2500. Having this adapter is a great way to go from a normal, just 4-pole to a 7-way. And that's gonna give you not only 12-volt power, but also reverse lights as well, which is really nice when you have a good trailer. You can also have the ability to run trailer brakes, and that also is gonna be peace of mind when towing a heavier trailer that has brakes installed. Now something that's really nice with this adapter is you still have your 4-pole right there. more

Hopkins RV Trailer Connector 12-Volt Power Inverter Adapter Review- Video

Hopkins RV Trailer Connector 12-Volt Power Inverter Adapter Review

Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're going to be going over the Hopkins power inverter adapter for seven-way trailer connectors. So, I'm sure you're probably asking yourselves now why we actually need an inverter that plugs into our seven-way. So, if you're fortunate enough to have a newer truck a lot of these actually have 120 volt outlets built into the truck bed that allows us to plug in pretty much any of our household appliances that we may need. But, if you have a truck that's a little bit older chances are you don't have those 120 volt outlets. Now those outlets that we're using there, they can come in handy. There's a number of different things we can use them for. more

Hopkins Trailer Wiring Adapter Installation - 2020 Toyota Corolla- Video

Hopkins Trailer Wiring Adapter Installation - 2020 Toyota Corolla

Hey everyone, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today I have a 2020 Toyota Corolla, and I'm gonna walk you through how to install the Hopkins 4-Pole to 5-Pole adaptor plug. What this is designed to do, is if you have a 4-pole plug on your vehicle, but your trailer has a 5-pole, this allows you to hook into your 4-pole plug on your vehicle, to give you that 5-pole end, if your trailer has a reverse light circuit. The blue wire coming off is gonna have a bullet connector on it, it's gonna come with the extension to connect to our reverse light circuit in the vehicle. This way your trailer, having that reverse light circuit, will allow anybody behind you, if you're backing up, to see what you're doing. What makes this nice is if we're not pulling a trailer with a 5-pole, we can take this adapter, we can throw it in our glove box, or with our other wiring. more

RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector Installation - 2021 Ford Ranger

Hey everybody, Ryan here at trailer. Today on our 2021 Ford Ranger we're gonna be checking out and showing you how to install the RoadMaster six way round connector plug. So just to kind of give you guys an idea on what your connector plug will look like when you're not using it, whenever you're just kind of cruising around town, you can see it's gonna do a pretty good job of blending in. Thankfully the Ranger has a lot of different spots where we can mount this up and it's kind of dark in this area. So with the plug being black in color it does do a great job just kind of, blending in to the front of your Ranger so it don't stick out too bad. With that said, when you're not using it it does have a spring loaded cap and it's pretty tight actually. more

Tekonsha Upgraded ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation - 2020 Lincoln Cors- Video

Tekonsha Upgraded ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation - 2020 Lincoln Cors

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2020 Lincoln Corsair, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Tecontra upgraded vehicle wiring harness with a four way flat trailer connector. So the way this kit is going to work is it's going to provide you with the necessary lighting functions to eliminate all of the lights on your trailer. So whenever you're ready to use it, you can open up your hatch, lift up your floor covering, and it's going to be located right here inside. Now you can always run it outside and mount it up next to your hitch if that's what you want to do, but for the most part, I think this is a safe bet. So you have your four-way flat, and you're just going to close this in the hatch. more
