A 7-way wire harness/connector plug is wired
into your trailer to connect electrical power
from the tow vehicle for travel. This supplies
power to the RV brakes, tail lights, clearance
lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc. Wiring to
operate your brakes must be the same size in
both the tow vehicle and RV (the RV brake
wiring is 12-gauge wire). When attaching wires
to your tow vehicle, carefully and tightly tape
all the connections for moisture protection.
