Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Bargman 7-way RV style heavy duty connector. They're available in 3 different sizes, in 6 foot with part number 54006-057, in 8 foot, part number 54006-058, and then finally in 10 foot, part number 54006-059. This 7-way is excellent as a replacement or if you're wiring up a new trailer. It's a pre-wired, 7 blade style connector. The cable itself is flexible so it's easy to position, and the insulated jacket is ideal for cold weather. The easy to grip pads make it easy to disconnect from the vehicle end.Mike works with our customers.
Tell me Mike, what are customers wondering about a 7-way Mike: You can see here they're all different colors and they don't necessarily match up, so what the customers I work with want to know is, what does each of these wires do What Bargman did, they put this tag on all these, and a lot of companies do this, and it tells you the wire color and the function. Then, all you have to do is match it up to the right function on your trailer wiring or to the right function if you're adding new stuff. Speaker 1: Makes it way easier. Mike: It does. Another thing, with this one in particular, it's good for cold weather.
It has really good insulation in there. Another question we get is about the wire gauges on each of these wires, and the 2 larger ones are your power and ground. Blue here is for electric brakes, so these are all bigger, and then the smaller ones are for the lights. Speaker 1: Okay, cool. Well thanks for the information, Mike.
Mike: No problem. Speaker 1: Now that we've gone over the features, I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed. The jacket on our Bargman 7-way comes pre-stripped. To help us out with our installation, we're going to be using some ring terminals, part number 44-5310A.The first step is to strip back my wires. Now since I'm using a junction box, I'm going to want to stagger my wires for a cleaner look.
In my junction box, I know that my white wire is last, so I'm going to want to leave this one the longest. Every wire after that, I'm going to cut a half inch shorter, that way it gives me that clean look. You'll want to double check your junction box to find the order of your wires. To help me out, I took a picture of my junction box with my cell phone, that way I can just follow along.What I'm going to do now is strip back a 1/4 of an inch, clean out my wire, and then place it on my ring terminal. We want it to where we can see the wire just inside but not hanging out. Then I'll take my crimpers and crimp that tight. It's a good idea to check to make sure you've got it nice and crimped and we can go ahead and repeat the same process with the rest of the wires.When you're done, yours should look something like this, depending on the order of your wires. Now let's go to the trailer. Here underneath my trailer, I've gone ahead and removed the cover off my junction box. Now if you need a junction box, you can pick one up here at etrailer.com. Here you can see it's already wired up for my trailer wiring. We'll just be adding our 7-way for vehicle connectivity. Since the front of my trailer is this way, I'm going to be coming in my junction box here, so I'm going to put this over my wiring.Now with my grommet in place, as you can see here, this is where it's going to go, let's go ahead and start wiring up our junction box. We'll start off with our blue wire, which on the 7-way is our brake, put it here. After we get this one done, we'll just continue down the line. I've gone ahead and connected my blue wire to my brake, my brown wire to my right turn, my green wire to my tail lights, my red wire to my left turn, my yellow wire to my back up, my black wire to my battery, which is my power, and then finally my white is my ground.Now if you need help routing your 7-way to the front of your trailer, it can be helpful to use some metal loom clamps, and you can pick those up with part number A0500. Before we button up our installation, we're going to test it out with our tester. The best way for you to test it out at home is with your vehicle. Here's our running lights, our brake lights, our right turn, and now here's our left turn.That's going to complete our look at the Bargman 7-way RV style heavy duty connector.

This molded, 7-way, RV-style, trailer-end connector allows you to connect your trailer to your vehicle. Insulated cable covering is ideal for cold temperatures. Hardwires to existing wiring.Great product was more flexible than I imagined. Hopefully, I won’t repeat the damage caused when the original pulled out of the truck 7-pin when
Towing under cold ambient conditions. I include. A picture of the original connector I drug for 2 miles until I get safety pulled off the side of the road.
Works great as described on your webpag e.
I can’t say enough about the way the conduct business. Great products, amazing communication and updates on order status, and super fast shipping.
Quality cord. Fast service
It is the eact same brand and same wire sizes but the wiring diagram list on the cord and what I see on my pj trailer dump trailer wiring control box do not coincide. Going to be a lot more difficult to make sure its right than just an easy swap unfortunately.
Quality part and good fit replacing the original. Pleased that the plug had the tab to help hold it securely to the truck.
Good quality
This cable worked out great for me. I have a Lance slide in camper. I bought a new truck which was wired for a 5th wheel. I used the cable to hard wire back to the camper and it was long enough to reach back to the wiring socket at the rear of the bed. Solved my problem, Thx
The plug was wired up wrong inside and it’s molded shut so you can’t rewire it properly. Don’t waste your money on this more expensive version, just buy the wire and plug separately and do it yourself. I cut the plug off and wired it up right.
Product was just what I was looking for.
I would like to say something more about the etrailer.com customer service if I may.
I received a call from Molly with etrailer letting me know there was a slight shipping delay of one of my items in my order so if I did need it right away I could make necessary changes. I would like to personally thank Molly and the team at etrailer for going that extra mile!
whilst the connectors and wiring appear to be of good quality, the blue outer sheathing is not durable. The outer sheathing has tore the 2nd day after installation when rubbed against the hitch.
Silicon rubber covering and wire insulation make the cable flexible and easy to install. Very good that etrailer offers the 10' version.
Items came very quickly, exactly as described. Will install and see how it works, but appears to be good quality and it costs less than if you try and make yourself out of local wire and connectors - if you can find correct gauge wires.
Really like this trailer cord stays flexible and was easy to install. Also shipped fast as well
A couple of the boxes were mangled and tore up pretty good. Did get it in a timely manner and I do appreciate that, just wish the items were handled with a bit more care.
Looks great
I bought a second one for a different trailer....what could I say better than that.
looks good putting it on next week
Remained pliable all winter and much higher quality than the cable it replaced. I will only buy this brand in the future.
