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

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

Review of Curt Wiring - 7-Way to 5-Way Wiring Adapter - C84HR- Video

Ellen : Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com where we're taking a quick look at the Curt Wiring Adapter. This is going to go from a seven pole, or an RV style connector, to a five way flat. So if that's what you have on the back of your vehicle, and you need to connect to your trailer, this is going to be the adaptor to get you there.It measures out about 96 inches when you fully stretch it out. But that coil design is going to help to keep the excess off the ground. So as you stretch it out, it's not going to just be dragging on the ground and getting marred up or scraped or anything like that.So we'll take a closer look and I'll show you those terminals, so you can make sure that this is the right fit for you. Now, our seven blade would normally have seven functions, but since it's only going to our five wires, that's all the functions that we're going to get from this.And those five functions are going to be your stop, or your brake signal, your turn, so left and right, running lights, reverse signal as well.And again, just corresponds with the terminals on the other side. more

Review of Pollak Wiring - Wiring Adapters - PK12-724- Video

Ellen: Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com,= and we're looking at the Pollak trailer wiring adapter. This gives you a 7-pole round to a 7-way blade, and it allows you to transfer those wiring connections from one vehicle to another, or from your vehicle to your trailer. Typically this is going to be used in mostly ag applications, when you're moving things around on the farm and you just need to have those flashers so that you can let other people know to go around you, or just to watch out.Some things to keep in mind, though, a lot of times whenever you have a 7- blade round connection, it's going to be wired a little bit differently than what this is intended for. So if you have a separate brake signal from the trailer, the turn light signals, so if those are on different wires, the brake signal and the turn signals aren't combined, this won't work. It only works with a combined signal system. It had a resistor or a converter in this, you could make it work, but it's just going to be a direct wiring.Also, you definitely want to test all the functions of the wiring, because it can be a little bit squirrely as far as what lines up with what. more

Review of Hopkins Wiring - Wiring Adapters - HM47425- Video

Ellen: Hey everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to talk about the Hopkins trailer wiring adapter. This goes from a 7-pole round to a 7-way blade style connection. So a lot of times this is going to be used in ag applications when you're trying to just move stuff around on the farm and you need to connect up to any kind of a John Deere, or maybe just international vehicle, something that's going to be more of that ag application. The reason why you wouldn't necessarily want to use this for a just regular towing or RV application is because this is only designed to be used with a combined turn signal and brakes, or turn and brake system. So if you have separate turn signals from the brake, meaning those signals are on different wires, this won't pull that through correctly. more

Draw-Tite 7 Pole Adapter Review- Video

Hey guys, the Randy here at etrailer.com. You know customers often ask us how they can get 12 volt power at the back of their vehicle and there are a lot of different ways to do that. What we're looking at today, this is an adapter, this is going to go right into your 7 pole plug and it provides us with two 12 volt plugs that we can use for just about anything that we'd want. This is going to work out really well, whether you're camping, out on a picnic, tailgating or in an emergency situation, say one of our trailer tires here needed some air, a typical 12 volt compressor isn't going to reach all the way back there, but by putting this in the back of the vehicle, just going to slide right in, light comes on indicating we've got live 12 volt outlets right here, so we can plug whatever it is in and get that back to our trailer or maybe we're tailgating and we want our 12 volt cooler or 12 volt refrigerator hooked up.In camping situations it can be really nice to plug this into your vehicle, parked pretty close to the tent, and then just use an extension to go into your tent. Now, in whatever situation you're going to be using it in, you can power all kinds of accessories, we can even put a small inverter into this and charge up laptops, or we can charge up any kind of technology that uses a straight household style plugin or cell phones. I really don't like when I'm sitting on the tailgate somewhere, listening to the dogs around or whatever the case is having to get into my phone or into my car to grab my phone if it's on the charger and bring it back here, you can power refrigerators, you can power coolers if you're tailgating, if you're camping, you can use an extension to get 12 volt power into your tent.And this is going to eliminate the need for running any of those cords through the windows and leaving our window cracked or running them through our door jam and slamming our door on them, which can do damage, this gives us exactly what we need, right out here, where it's really accessible and easy to get to. more
