Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Curt Seven Way RV Style Trailer Connector for the trailer end. This seven way RV style trailer end connector would hard wire to your trailer's wiring and then plug in to the seven way on your vehicle.Has a really nice easy grip design, allows for simple plug in and disconnect. It's made from a durable molded plastic construction. Your trailer wiring hard wires to each terminal located inside the connector. To gain access to those, you need to undo this screw right here. That allows the unit to pull apart, and then you can connect each wire to each corresponding terminal.Now the unit does feature corrosion resistant terminals to withstand the elements.
Once you have everything connected, you would reassemble the unit together and then located right here, you would tighten this screw, which creates a tight seal around the wiring and also functions as a strain relief bracket, reducing the amount of stress placed on each connection terminal.That's going to do it for today's look at Curt Seven Way RV Style Trailer Connector for the trailer end.

This 7-pole, RV-style trailer connector hardwires to your trailer and plugs into the 7-way on your tow vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights.
I chose this connector because it had the capability to seal the wire leaving the connector. Some of the other designs I've seen did not offer this feature and being this was installed on a trailer used in Michigan...in the winter time...lots of salt spray, I wanted to protect the inside of the connector from corrosion. While the connector is well made and robust, I think the seal leaves a little to be desired. You can see from the pictures that I modified the wire exit using silicone sealant. I used black electrical tape around the body of the connector to seal the area where the screw is located. I haven't taken the connector apart since installing it (Summer 2019) but so far, the lights work consistently on the trailer. I did notice some light corrosion on the blades of the connector which is shown in one of the pictures. I think this is easily removed by inserting and removing the connector a few times when getting ready to use the trailer.
Nice sturdy connector and worked perfect. Easy to grip and unplug. Heres a photo of the plug during assembly. Just unscrew it to take apart the plug, add your wires, then put back together. Simple.
Took a little while to install but easy to do. The first time I wired it wrong but that is on me. Everything works like it should.
Perfect plug
This is the only 7 pin trailer connector out there I have found that doesn't have the connection end loosen or pull out from being plugged and unplugged from the tow vehicle. Most have the end plug portion only held in place by a small set screw in a flimsy and brittle plastic housing. This connector has two halves that clamp shut around the plug end and hold it 360 degrees. I have switched two of my trailers to this connector, and I expect much more life out of it.
Most connectors for the trailer end hold the inner plastic piece and outer body together with just a small set screw, causing it to crack after little use plugging and unplugging tight connections.
This is the only plug I have found that holds up well with regular use. It uses two halves of the outer shell to clamp the inner piece. I will never buy a different plug as long as these are made. I have switched two of my trailers to these and they have both been on for 2 years or so. Previously I would be lucky to use another style of plug 1 year before a failure.
I have used etrailer before and never had any problems thank you
Set screw is not good. It would also have help to have some instructions and an easy to see wiring diagram. I took apart a molded connector to figure it all out. Diagrams on the web are all different! Up and down and view directions are not well explained. Anyway it is installed and works.
We have been struggling to find the right plug for our camper. We are new at this. Finally I stumbled across this website, put in the exact information on my camper title and all these parts pop up. I ordered the plug it said I needed and all the bells and whistles turned on. We are so happy! Now off to camp! Thank you
Easy access to wire terminals, great fit-up and sealing ring. Used 6-wire cable and will replace OEM supplied RV to toad.
Great product! Fast efficient shipping!
etrailer is very committed to excellent customer service. I appreciate them. They continue to earn my business.
No diagram at all to explain proper placeent of wires.
Great quality!
