Hopkins Towing Solutions 47185 Multi-Tow 4 Flat to 7 Blade and 4 Flat Adapter

Ive wired in a lot on a lot of cars the 7way is awesome for your camper and the 4 flat is nice to rent or if you have both stile trailers like me just back up plug in and hook up and go other then trying to find you 7 to 4 adapter you let a friend use so you got to buy anather and always use dielectricel grease on the wires and plugs and you will never have a problem with the ends by the way those 7 way to 4 flat adapters burn out this plug if kept up will last the life of a car

This 7-way/4-way trailer adapter is exactly what I needed for my DIY after-market hitch install. It easily mounted on the bracket on my hitch and the wires are plenty long enough to reach existing wires and easily hide around the frame. The 7-way connector firmly holds my wire in place and makes a great connection to the trailer. I have not had any problems with the connection to the trailer as I have with older 4-way wire connectors. I highly recommend this product to either add a 7-way plug or replace a 7-way plug that still allows a 4-flat connection for non-braked trailers.

This adapter gives you a flexible solution to the 4 pin vs.7 pin trailer connection. It has BOTH connectors in one unit and the mount accommodates both of them. I have a small utility trailer that has the 4 pin connection, and a travel trailer that has the 7 pin connector. This make it simple to hook up either trailer.

I have these on several vehicles- great quality. ALWAYS use the combination adapters like this so if you need to tow a trailer with either connector, you can. I learned that the hard way when I had an axle failure on my car trailer away from home- I had to get a rental trailer to get my race car home while I left the other trailer at a friends house while I had to order a new axle for it. Being able to slap a rental trailer on without buying an adapter is awesome. You never know when you may want to tow something for a friend or whatever. Its also no more wiring involved to have this combo unit.

I installed a tow package on my Dodge Grand Caravan and needed the ability to connect a 7 round RV plug to my vehicle when towing my pop-up camper. This Hopkins 47185 Multi-Tow adapter was perfect for me because it allows you to easily have both the 7 round and 4 flat connections easily accessible. Everything necessary for the installation was included, and it took almost no time at all for me to install this device on my vehicle. I have used it multiple times since installing, and it has worked flawlessly. Highly recommend!

Excelent product

works great after you replace the fasteners on the bracket with slightly larger ones that have nylon lock nuts. Couldnt keep the bracket tight worth a damn with the stock hardware, worked itself loose almost daily. the screws that hold the socket into the bracket were fine though. they just need to improve the bracket fasteners by making them a little bigger & using lock nuts instead of jamb nuts

Simple and easy way to make up for Fords Super failure in their 1999 Super Duty truck. Dont get me wrong - I LOVE my truck but what was Ford thinking producing a truck of this caliber with no RV7 trailer plug. Sure in 2001 they fixed the problem but I dont HAVE a 2001 truck. This was an excellent way to get on the road immediately to bring our new (to us - 1995 28 trailer) camper home from the seller. Some extra wire hookups and a brake controller and now my truck is a TRUCK again.

I was happy with the results. The bracket was okay but not perfect. The production engineers need to study the bracket install position. it was not low enough for ideal placement. I had to fabricate an extension for the wiring setup to work in front of the hitch receiver. Overall it was okay.

Ford couldn’t get a factory controller to work with my 2017 Expedition with tow prep package. I bought this and Hopkins brake controller with quick connect plug to my factory brake controller wire. Had everything installed and working out n 15 minutes. Plug the 4 way flat to 4 way flat tap ground to frame and splice brake wire together and 12v constant if you have to charge camper battery. Mount adapter. DONE
