Used on tow vehicle for hooking up wiring harness to motorhome



by:

This part is an exact replacement to the part that failed. The failure was caused by a poor installation which allowed the rubber boot to chaff on the truck frame. As it was an exact replacement installation was straight forward although I modified the mounting bracket to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.



by:

Easy install. Especially with the available videos



by:

I found what I thought I needed on the website to prepare our car to be flat towed, but wanted to call to verify. After a short phone call, eTrailer saved me about $50 and got me the stuff I actually needed to get the job done! I won’t shop anywhere else!



by:

These connectors were high quality by a known manufacturer. I could have bought them locally but I wouldn't have gotten the expert advice and detailed information that I was able to get from eTrailer!. I talked to several people and each one was very knowledgeable. When the parts arrived, it surprised me because they came so quickly! I would readily order from them again if I needed more trailer parts. I used these connectors to adapt a Minn-Kota trolling motor to my fishing kayak and have attached some pictures showing it installed.

Easy Installation. Seems more durable with the new back-plate included in the hardware. However the Backplate had to be shaved with a rotary burr-bit a little to fit the back of the PollaK housing

Justin got me the correct parts within minutes of my call.

This was a replacement for a broken existing one so it worked out flawlessly.



by:

Working as it should. Excellent company to work with.

Was very pleased with the service and got the right product that I needed.

Good advise, Ordered...delivered on time..the best



by:

As described, easy install and works



by:

just what i need for my blue ox connector to our motorhome.



by:

perfect replacment



by:

I found out about etrailer on an installation video on YouTube and decided to give them a try. They had all the parts I was looking for with good prices. As a plus, their shipping is fast and I got my order in no time. I will definitely use them again for my RV parts needs.

All of the parts I bought are still functioning as they should and I am still happy with my purchase.



by:

Works as described.



by:

What can I say? It does its job. I used a 6-pole connector so that I could wire in a battery charger for our toad. The awesome folks at etrailer.com had to send me a replacement because one of the "ears" cracked during shipping. I'm assuming that it got squashed between some heavy parts as it was only packaged in a plastic bag.



by:

great plug well made easy install
etrailer
and all the folks there are wonderful will recommend and buy from again
I have gotten several things from them already I am rigging up my new jku to be a toad behind my motor home.
everything from tow bar base plate and wiring has been just what they said it to be and very simple to save money and do it your self, I have lots of experience but seriously if you can change your own oil you can do this kind of work also.
AAAAAAA+



by:

The item is exactly as described and exactly what i needed to make the repair. I love working with these guys as they are helpful, knowledgeable, and delivery is always very fast. They are my 'go to' for RV and auto parts.

It is still working perfectly. Thanks.



by:

I searched around the web in search of a custom wiring hook up that would work with the existing wiring circuitry that was already in place on my old Dodge pickup. Just replacing the trailer socket was the answer to my problem. It was an easy process to wire in the new plug, at a very reasonable cost. It was also shipped to my home in several days.



by:

Easy hookup



by:

Very nice unit. Good instructions. I needed this plug to wire a brake buddy unit into a towed vehicle, and maintain the lighting. Works very well.



by:

Great Product. Fast Delivery. Great Ret ailer!



by:

I’ve made several purchases from this retailer. The quality of their products is top notch and the price is very competitive. EXCELLENT customer service. Stacey assIsted me with my latest order and she was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. It was a joy working with her.



by:

Part was exact replacement for the broken trailer electrical socket I needed, at a price lower than I expected. Vendor has a good catalog of just about anything I could need for my trailer and will be using eTrailer.com from now on.



by:

Product arrived in a timely manner. It was as described (or even better), with apparent quality of material and construction. I would recommend this product to anyone needing to wire a 6-pin, vehicle-side connector.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Jeep Wrangler
    The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. We don't have a kit that includes everything you'd need for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler but we can help piece it all together. For a base plate kit you'd want the part # RM-521453-5 which is a confirmed and would work great with the Nighthawk tow bar # RM-676. Then...

  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2023 Ford F-150 With Blue Ox Tow Bars and Patriot Braking System
    Yes, you will be able to use your Blue Ox Tow Bar # BX7420 and Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR on your 2023 Ford F-150. But you will need a 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to power the Patriot braking system as the factory 12 volt will not have power when being flat towed. You will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU33FR for your F-150 along with the necessary wiring components. A Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is needed as the battery will be drained by your F-150 and the...

  • 6-Pin Connector For Front Of Jeep Wrangler When Preparing For Flat Towing
    You will need the Pollak 6-Pole # PK12720 to replace the end on the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56200. You will cut off the 4-way end and connect the wires inside the 6-pin connector. We do have a Mounting Bracket # PK11771 which will make mounting the 6-pin on the front of your Jeep easier.

  • Parts Needed To Adapt From Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar To Non-Binding Motorhome Mounted Tow Bar
    To convert your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 to a set of motorhome mounted Roadmaster tow bars you will need the Crossbar # RM-067. This will allow you to use tow bars like the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 or our best selling Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 tow bars. The Nighthawk comes with the wiring for a 6 Pin Connector # PK12720 you would need to install on our Jeep. Other wise we have the Curt Tow Bar Extension Cord # C49HR which is a 7 to 4 cord you can use with...

  • Parts Needed To Connect a 5-Pin To a 6-Pin Trailer Connector
    It sounds like you need to go from the 6-Pole, Round Pin Connector # PK11604 to a 5-Pole, Round Pin Socket # PK11502. This would require making an adapter using the 6-Pole, Round Pin Socket # PK12720 and 5-Pole, Round Pin Connector # PK11501. If I have this backwards then just use the other parts listed above. It gets confusing with these connectors since you have male connectors inside a female connector so you never really know which one they are referring too. You can use some of the...

  • Can Hopkins HM56202 be Wired into 6-Way Connector on Front of Towed Vehicle
    Absolutely! We actually recommend doing this exact install a lot of the time. Using a 6-way, like part # PK12720 for an example, at the vehicle's front allows you to install additional wiring for a braking system or charge line but doing it this way makes it an easier install because the Hopkins # HM56202 is the easiest to install harness for your 2004 Jeep.

  • Will 2 Ground Wires Fit Together Inside a 6-Pin Connector For Flat Towing a Vehicle?
    On a 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket # PK12720 there is typically only enough room for one wire for each terminal to mount inside the stud. You can still splice both the ground wires together and run a single wire into the terminal on the connector.

  • Using 12-Volt Accessory Feed From Trailer Connector to Maintain Battery on Pop-Up Trailer
    Typically, the blue wire on a 6-way connector is used to carry the output voltage from the brake controller. The 12-volt auxiliary feed, which usually feeds the center pin on the trailer connector can be used to maintain a fully charged battery, but will not have enough amperage to charge a dead battery.

  • How to Attach a Trailer with a Separate 6-Way Harness to a Vehicle with a Combined 4-Way Harness
    In order to allow for the 4-way trailer connector on your Jeep to operate the lights on your trailer you will first need to install a converter box on the trailer like part # C56196 which will combine the brake and turn signals. You will then need to install a male 4-way trailer connector like part # HM38168 on the trailer that will attach to the opposite end of the converter box. In order to make these connections I recommend using part # DW05744-10. In order to allow for the 6-way trailer...

  • Replacement 6-Way for Tow Bar Lighting On Vehicle with Damaged 6-Way Cover
    I have a solution for you, but the part # BX84-0182 is not an electrical cover. It is for the latches of the tow bar. It sounds like you are looking for a replacement 6-way since the cover of your has been damaged. For that you would need the part # PK12720. Just the covers are not available for the 6-way.

  • How to Tow a Trailer Designed for a Harley Streetbike with a Vehicle with a 4-Way
    We have what you would need to make the adapter you would need, but we don't sell one ready to go. What you will first need is the # PK12720 for your trailer to plug into, next you will need a signal converter to take the combined signal of your Jeep's 4-way to the separate signal of your trailer. For that you would want the # C56196. Lastly, you would need # HM48110 for a 4-way to plug into the Jeep 4-way. When connecting the converter to the 4-way the wires will match up color for color,...

  • Pollak 6-Pole Trailer Wiring Socket # PK12720 Recommendation for Flat Towing a 2011 Honda Fit
    I would recommend you remove the 4-wire flat plug and replace it with a Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket, part # PK12720, like you mentioned. This way you would not have to use an adapter which would give you a cleaner install and give you one less component that could potentially fail on you. I attached an FAQ article on tow bar wiring below for you to check out also.

  • Proper Wiring Technique For Flat Towing A Jeep
    For the wiring diagrams either is correct as long as it matches up, that being said the one from the FAQs page would be the more typical setup. It's always recommended to check the functions of the wires beforehand using a circuit tester # PTW2992 to ensure you're properly wiring your components. Since you're going to be flat towing your Jeep you'll actually want to use a 6-pole instead of a 4 pole since there isn't an adapter to go from a 4-pole round to 7-pole socket. You can use the...

    Replacing the wiring harness on your 1976 Jayco Eagle pop up trailer should be fairly easy. If your trailer is set up with brake/turn signals, and tail lights only then I would remove the factory square 6-way wiring connector and replace it with a 4-way flat connector, item # 18004. This connector will wire as follows the white wire should go to ground on the trailer frame, the brown wire attaches to the trailer tail light wire, the yellow wire attaches to the trailer left turn and brake...

  • Connector Needed for 6-Way Wire to 4-Way Round Socket on Towed Vehicle
    The easiest and most cost-effective thing to do would be to install the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket # PK12720 on your vehicle that is being towed. Aside from that you would have to use a different cord like the Hopkins # HM47043 that goes from a 7-Way blade to a 4-Way round as there aren't any adapters.

  • Can a 1997 Ford Taurus be Flat Towed Behind a Motor Home
    I found an online copy of the owners manual from Ford for your 1997 Ford Taurus. It states that you can only flat tow with 4 wheels down for a maximum of 50 miles and at speeds no greater than 35 miles per hour. To tow the vehicle further and at higher speeds you would need to use a tow dolly. Please check your owners manual and/or contact a Ford dealer for more information. We do have a tow dolly that you can use. Take a look at Roadmaster tow dolly # RM-2050-1. This unit features lights,...

For this you will need either a 4-Way # C45FV with our Install Kit # ETBC6 or the 7-Way Kit # TK82VR along with a 7 to 6 Way Adapter # 47549.

Then you can hook upMagnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connectors - 20' Long Harness # PE26UR directly to the 4 way flat provided on the adapter.

    Your best bet is to see if one of the D-Ring mounting options from Roadmaster will work with your XRC bumper, because none of our manufactures have a specific baseplate kit that will fit the XRC aftermarket bumper. You will want to make sure that your bumper is approved for flat towing by the manufacturer. To best determine which bracket is right for your XRC bumper you will want to measure.

  • 7-Way Blade to 6-Way Round Coiled Cable For Connecting a Motorhome To a Flat Towed Vehicle
    The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053 has the 7-way blade connector on one end and 6-pin round connector on the other. This cable is 8' long and coiled to reduce the chances of it dragging on the ground between your motorhome and car being flat towed. You will not need any converters as your motorhome having a 7-way has already combined the turn signals and brake lights in the 7-way.
