If your trailer has electric brakes, reverse lights, interior lights, or battery charging — it requires a 7-Way RV Blade connector.
If you're converting from a 4-flat system or replacing a damaged harness, the solution depends on whether you're upgrading the vehicle side or trailer side.

Most Common Failure: Ground
- Never rely on hitch ball for ground
- Ground must attach directly to frame
- Use 10 gauge minimum
- Multiple grounding points recommended
If multiple lighting circuits fail under load, your ground is insufficient.
Maintenance
- Apply dielectric grease to terminals
- Inspect pins for looseness
- Replace cracked housings immediately
- Confirm brake voltage annually
