Worked excellent for wiring my cab over camper to in bed trailer plug-in.



by:

I installed this Hopkins connector cable on my 2003 Jayco 12 Sd popup camper because I replaced hydraulic brakes on it with the electric brakes. Needed some extra wires. Four were not enough to operate the lights and electric brakes. Installation was quick. I had to match wires on the trailer with cable wires. Cable looks great and so far it works great. We just checked out on our first camping trip this year.



by:

7 pin connector separated from cable.
I
was expecting that "Molded Cable" meant that the connector was fused to the cable insulation but instead, the two separated almost immediately after I installed it. It still works fine as the wires are connected securely inside the connector but with the outer covering pulled out like this, I don't think it will last very long.

Çable good but after putting new 7way plug on truck cable wire colors did not match etrailers picture

I know that the Hopkins harness wires are as follows for function: White Wire - Ground, Red Wire - Left Turn and Brake, Brown Wire - Right Turn and Brake, Green Wire -Tail Lights, Blue Wire -Brake Power, Black Wire -12 volt hot lead, Yellow Wire -Aux.. They will not necessarily match the trailer for color; you will want to match them for function. If the colors are not as they are stated here please let me know.



by:

Combine this with a new junction box and replacement become easy and fast.



by:

Used this to replace a failing camper connector. Works fine. Four stars because it's just a cable.



by:

Very simple and well made. It’s a lot better than wadding up the cord and stuffing it in the fifth wheel hitch.



by:

Item is well made. Replaced original without problem.



by:

My wire harness was easy to install, looked great and performed great. One year later and it still looks and performs great! I definitely recommend to anyone building their own trailer or are looking to upgrade to better wiring! My homemade trailer was a great success, thanks to etrailer.com!



by:

Quality plug connector, works well and I'm sure will last a long time.

Sid

Still working well, no issues, seems to be very high quality.



by:

I am replacing the trailer connection wiring harness as part of the brake system. My 5th wheel trailer is now 10 years old so this is a preventive maintenance step in the process. Hopefully with new wheel/brake parts my trailer brakes will work better.
Thanks ETrailer.com and Rebecca for great support.



by:

Had some real issues with this one. Should have noticed when purchasing this harness is not wired using standard truck/trailer color format. Other than that it went together fairly nice. If the connector would come apart I was thinking of fixing the wiring my self.



by:

Part of brake wiring assembly. I followed etrailer's wiring diagram.



by:

Arrived in a timely fashion, easy installation and worked well.



by:

Pros: Best wire gauge in a 7 pin connector I could find.

Cons: reverse lights (red), left turn (yellow), right turn (green), and running light (brown) and not wired correctly in the plug for their respective wire colors.

I bought this for a sealed plug with good gauge wire to help save some time. What I got was a total headache trying to find out the problem of why it was not working correctly. This might not have been so bad had it not been on a new to me truck that I was not so trusting of the wiring in it. So I wound up looking at the truck first not thinking the plug would be wired incorrectly.

Be warned.



by:

Easy plug in and use as advertised

The outer sheath for the pigtail has pulled away from the plug, exposing the wires inside. I fear the wiring will soon pull from the connections inside the plug. Im always careful to pull the plug out by the plug itself.



by:

Thanks for your help with parts for my trailer build. My wife and I are still making custom cabinets out of curly maple. We hope to finish this winter. We have taken it out 7 times this season. Thanks again.



by:

Everything looks great



by:

Good quality



by:

This trailer was built from scratch using only the metal frame. I purchased some items from etrailer an was very satisfied with the products.



by:

I bought a used trailer and it needed the cable replaced. The new cable is working great



by: 11/30/2023

Part enabled installation to be complet ed.



by:

Well built and plenty of length for wiring to my junction box.



by:

It was just like the one that I was replacing. I cut a corner to sharp while turning and pinched the cable that came with my Keystone RV. Like for like.



by:

Great quality, fast shipping and the best customer service of any online retailer that I've dealt with. Although, I did not notice the "non standard" wiring (color coding). I struggled about a hour or so trying to figure out why my lights didn't work. Only after discovering that the wires didn't match the usual trailer wiring scheme I searched etrailer's site and found that it was described by others who had purchased these units. I think it would have been helpful to enclose the wiring scheme in the package to avert unnecessary downtime, even though it appears in the general description of the item on the website. Maybe alert with a large "IMPORTANT"?? Easily missed if you're already familiar with trailer wiring - you wouldn't be looking for it. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with etrailer as I've purchased numerous items from them.
Thank you

  • Replacement Axle, Springs, Wet Bolts, Equalizers, and Brakes for Tandem Axle Trailer
    I'll start by covering the axle since this information is important for other components as well. The first thing you want to do is identify your axle capacity. Since this is a tandem axle trailer and you're thinking 7,000 lb capacity you probably have tandem 3,500 lb axles. Take a look and see if you have the capacity listed on axle tags. If not, you can measure the diameter of the axle. A typical 3,500 lb axle has a 2-3/8" diameter. If you find that you have a 3,500 lb axle, and your...

  • Recommended Replacement Brake Hubs and Brakes for a Dexter 7K Axle
    I wasn't able to find anything relating to that part number and since you're unsure of what you have I'd just recommend swapping the entire hub to make everything easier. You're just going to need to choose the hubs that have your current wheel studs. For 1/2" studs with a grease cap you'll want # 8-219-4UC3, For 1/2" studs with an E-Z lube cap you'll want # 8-219-4UC3-EZ, For 1/2" studs with an oil bath hub you'll want # 8-219-9UC3, For 9/16" studs with a grease cap you'll want # AKHD-865-7-1-K, For...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD
    For you 2023 Highlander Hybrid you'll need some different parts in order to tow you pop-up camper. For the hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65MR. This hitch will allow you to use a weight distribution hitch, which might not really be needed with a pop-up trailer but we would be helpful later on if you ever sized up. This hitch also won't interfere with the spare tire, as some will require an 18" or smaller spare. To install a 7-way on your Highlander...

  • Parts Needed to Switch a Trailer From Surge Brakes To Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
    First you are going to need either a Drum # DH54FR or Disc # DH94FR brake actuator depending on what type of brakes you have. Also be sure to check with the local laws where you live as many states are now requiring all trailer axles to have brakes if over a certain weight. If this is the case I would need to know what axles/brakes you currently have. You will also need a Breakaway Kit # 3802311, Junction Box # 3430001-JBK, and 7-Way # H20046. You may also need a Flexible Brake Line #...

  • Solution For Old Reese Elite 5th Wheel Hitch That Chucks And It Difficult To Release
    Hello Bill. 5th wheel hitch technology has come a long way in the last several years. If you are using an old hitch, it is definitely not uncommon to have issues like this. Most older hitches, and even some new lower-end hitches will chuck quite a bit. Not necessarily a bad design, but the design is dated/obsolete. Like you said, replacement parts for this Reese Elite hitch are unavailable. It sounds like your hitch is not safe to use, so I cannot in good conscience recommend that you continue...

    In order to charge an on-board trailer battery you'd need to have a seven way connection on both the vehicle and trailer, this would contain the necessary circuits to pass a charge from the vehicle battery to the trailer battery. If you don't already have one on the trailer you can use the Junction Box # 3375601101 and 7-Way Connector # H20046.

We have the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-173-16UC3 to get you a 4 on 4 mounting pattern. You will need to disassemble one of your hubs to verify it will fit the new hub as your axle is produced before they maintained records for their axles. This hub uses inner and outer Bearing # L44649 which is 1.063" inner diameter. For the wiring you will go from the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style...

  • Which 7-Way Trailer Plug has the Largest Gauge Wires

These gauges are chosen based off of the demands on each one. And I have never ran into an issue with overloading one of the 14 gauge circuits.

  • Recommended Solution to Extend a 7-Way to 7-Way Connector from a 2006 Lexus LX 470 to Pop Up Camper
    The TorkLift wiring harness extension # TLW6028 will be a short term solution or if it's an occasional fix. The reason I say that is because it opens up possibilities of problems. These problems could result in becoming disconnected, additional connection points that could get dirt and grime in the connector to name a few. To avoid some issues associated with corrosion on the connection points you can use dielectric grease # 11755 or # LT37534 that seals out moisture and prevents corrosion....

    The first thing I would do is check for power. Using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 check to see if 12V power is running to the # HS381-8066 when you use your manual override on the brake controller. If you have power here and no brakes it is likely the actuator. Go ahead and call Hydrastar directly to see about warranty work since it is under a 2-year warranty. If you do not have power here then it is a problem with the trailer connector or on the vehicle side. Go ahead and check both...
