7 - WAY WIRE HARNESS/coNNEcToR PLUG
A 7-way wire harness/connector plug is wired into your RV 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.
Make sure that any cable from the vehicle to be towed is wired correctly to mate properly
with the connections shown in the connector. If in doubt about proper wiring, have a qual-
ified service technician prepare and install the necessary cable to mate with the seven-pin
connector on the RV to ensure proper operation when any vehicle is towing the unit.
When the RV is uncoupled from the towing vehicle and the cable is disconnected from
the seven-pin connector, be sure to close the spring-hinged cover plate on the connector
to protect the contact pins from dirt or debris. In a similar manner, protect the cable end
from similar damage, weather, or debris; one such method could be to place the connector
end in a heavy-gauge plastic bag (e.g., polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.) and secure the
bag tightly around the cable with a stout elastic band or tape, and then mount the secured
cable in a manner to keep it from both mechanical damage and water intrusion.
When the RV is again coupled to the towing vehicle via the towing hitch and the cable is
again connected to the seven-pin connector, make sure the resultant connection is tight
and solid so that the connection won't jar loose during use.
Should a conversion adapter to convert the round, seven-pin connector to a flat, four-in
connector be needed, such an adapter may be purchased from any RV after-market store.
