I ordered some wire and electrical parts to rebuild my 16' lawn service trailer. These folks had good prices and everything was in stock, well packed and shipped promptly and for a reasonable fee. These site also has helpful articles on wiring selection, color codes, etc. Very helpful.

The Hopkins trailer connecter truck side broke in a month. Replaced. Second one broke a couple of months ago. I have an all-metal connector ready to install.Not your fault, but its a crappy design from Hopkins.Thanks for following up. Getting ready to do two more trailers and it was a good reminder to re-visit you guys for the parts.



by:

Works great! I connected my solar battery charger with it.



by:

Work as advertised, though I used it for a simple 2 wire disconnect for my awning strip light. Cut it in half and hardwired both the feed and the light strip. Now I can disconnect the light strip when rolling up my awning.



by:

Great connectors for my Kubota BX tractor, made many removable connections for lights and other items on the tractor. Would buy again, bought many to use already.



by:

Quality flat wiring extension.



by:

Makes connection easy.



by:

I found in the past, that Hopkins wiring have always been dependable. I used these particular adapters to hook up auxiliary lighting for a slide in camper on my trailer and also for a hook up for my tow behind sprayer on my garden tractor. Performed great on both.



by:

needed connectors for my solar system. Theses plugs are an excellent choice with a great price

plugs have been outside all this time with no signs of wear or loss of conductivity



by:

I purchased this to adapt my trailer wiring to accept wesbar trailer lights with the quick disconnect plugs. Easy to splice and high quality feel. Fast packing and out to ship as well. Had them in less than 5 days from ordering.



by:

I was unable to find the exact connector that wanted to replace.

This connector seemed to be a good substitute.

When it arrived I found it to be too tight to insert and very difficult to disconnect.

Since this cable requires frequent connection and disconnection between my motorhome and towed is was not sure if it would be more of a problem than a solution.

I called customer service and they were most helpful.

Their suggestion to use dielectric grease has helped somewhat.

Time will tell if this will be usable.

Time will tell.



by:

These type connectors are getting a bit more difficult to find, and I was glad they were available from e trailer at a great price. Delivery was great and they were well packaged for use.
As for my use, I build specialized machines for our industry and these will be used to transfer low voltage from on point to an operator switch.
Again great find, great buy, and excellent service as usual.



by:

I just received the Hopkins two-pole flat wiring extensions that I ordered and I am very pleased with the quality and functionality. It is a standard two-wire connector but these connectors have become increasing hard to find locally and the etrailer price is great and the shipping is reasonable. I ordered several of these connectors to have available for future use.



by:

I use these connectors for auto, marine, and misc connectors. These are high quality and the service from etrailer is great. If you need a 2 pole universal connector this is the one!!



by:

These Hopkins 12" extensions are great.
They
arrived today as promised, I had been waiting for them to install a quick disconnect for a Float Charger for my H.D. (got mine done today, couple friends will be done tomorrow).
Ironically the mailman came by about the same time as these were delivered according to the "Tracking Program", I went to mailbox and didn't receive them USPS. Package shipped UPSSurepost and they left box in carport - - - Normally all that deliver packages here walk the extra 8 or 10 steps and give ya a knock on the door and leave package by Front Door. Got em anyway.
Very Happy with purchase.

The two-pin connectors arrived sooner than expected and were very well packaged. They are being used for hooking up solar panel chargers to outdoor equipment batteries. The connectors really facilitate servicing and maintenance.



by:

Good price and quality. Cut them in half to make battery tender connectors for my motorcycles.



by:

I used this item for quick connects to my auxiliary braking system indicator light. Works perfect



by:

I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the product. Very nice LED lights!



by:

E trailer did a fantastic job.
Before
order: Technical support / help was excellent.
Goal, conversion of a 1998 Floe snowmobile trailer from surge to electric brakes.
Problem, due to time and corrosion, I could only supply partial part numbers, spindle diameter.
etrailer did a fantastic job, researching, and getting me the correct part numbers, so I could order.
Julie did a great job.
She was very timely, communicated clearly and honestly, and just “kept me in the loop”.

I received the order came on the projected date, complete and undamaged. Excellent.
I would highly recommend etrailer, for your part needs.



by:

Great service, great selection and great pricing. Can't wait to ship with trailer again.

  • Recommended Wiring Instructions For The Rampage Radiant Backseat Heater
    The 12v cigarette lighter outlets we carry aren't going to be rated for a 25amp power draw so you would need to wire the Rampage Radiant Backseat Heater - 300 Watt - 12 Volt # RA3501 either directly to the battery with a in-line fuse holder like # SWC9539 or to the DC distribution panel in your RV's power center with a 25 amp fuse. The # RA3501 isn't really designed to be connected to a cigarette lighter style outlet but I'm assuming you're wanting this so that you can unplug and remove...

    The Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39524 wires directly to the battery and comes with a battery charger that runs to the 12v connection port on your vehicle to receive power from your RV. Since you will already be using the 7-way port for your Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light - Weatherproof - Magnetic Base - 23" Long - 7-Way Round Item # LIW-LDTL-7B you won't be able to also charge the battery.

You'll cut it in half, and use butt connectors # DW05744-5 to install the plug in line of the black power wire in your Curt Wiring Harness # C56349. The connector has two wires, red and white, it doesn't matter which wire you hook the black wire to, just make sure you wire the black wire to the same color wire on both sides, and just leave the other wire unused.

    You could use a 2-pole connector like the # HM47965 to wire the Fulton XLT Powered Drive Trailer Jack # F141401 to connect to the power and ground wire on the jack and route it to your vehicle battery, but a much easier way is just adding a 7-way connector # PK12706 to the jack wiring so you can power the jack by your tow vehicles 7-way connector. To do this you would connect the black wire to the 1 o'clock spot when looking at the back of the connector, and connecting the white wire...

    The ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank Heater Pad # 277-000164 that you referenced needs to be wired to 12V power source for operation. This doesn't necessarily have to be a direct battery connection, but just keep in mind the pad will only work when the particular power source you choose is actually on. You can even use something like the Hopkins Wiring Extension # HM47965 to provide an easy connection you can plug/unplug in a pinch. If you mainly run off AC power it can still be used but you...

With that said this light has a 2-way connector preinstalled and shrink wrap butt connectors would not be used. Instead you will want to use the Hopkins 2-Pole Flat Wiring Harness # HM47965 which gets cut in the middle and gives you two 2-way connectors to connect to your lights.

    I have a solution for you, but we do not offer a 3 ft. 2-pole to 12V DC power plug adapter harness. Your only option is to connect 3 of # HM47965 to reach your required length, or to cut off one plug on one of them and use heat shrink connectors # DW05744-10 to join the wire leads to additional 16-gauge wire such as # 16-1-1. You can then simply hardwire the extension leads to the Rear View Safety Cigarette Lighter Adapter # RVS-505 using the same style connectors mentioned above.

  • Wiring 12V Pump to Tow Vehicle 7-Way Connector

Using the cut 2 pole flat wiring # HM47965 connectors between the wiring is not necessary in terms of function but it will allow you to easily disconnect the pump when it's not in use.
