> 3 dayI used this to add a 7 way RV to style plug on my tractor, replacing the factory option 7 pin Ag plug. I like that the back of the connector is potted and the wires were a good length.

Greater than one weekI have purchased several of these little guys for the purpose of installing them on all of my tow-capable vehicles. They work great, and do include all of the necessary hardware and bracketry to mount onto a vehicle. I wish they came with heat shrink butt connectors, but my guess is that request would drive the price up. All of the contact surfaces were clean and corrosion free. The rear of the round connector appears to be water tight and durable. The copper wiring meets all of the AWG specs for the application it is designed for. I did use this in conjunction with a

Greater than one weekThis 7-way/4-way trailer adapter is exactly what I needed for my DIY after-market hitch install. It easily mounted on the bracket on my hitch and the wires are plenty long enough to reach existing wires and easily hide around the frame. The 7-way connector firmly holds my wire in place and makes a great connection to the trailer. I have not had any problems with the connection to the trailer as I have with older 4-way wire connectors. I highly recommend this product to either add a 7-way plug or replace a 7-way plug that still allows a 4-flat connection for non-braked trailers.

> 3 dayInstalled this on my old 97 Dodge Ram 1500 plow truck. Easy hook up, was able to wire trailer brakes and auxiliary feed easily, and best part is that the rear part of the plug is potted so no worries about moisture or corrosion at the wire terminals. I paid more for open backed plugs that corroded from road salt in a year.

Greater than one weekEasy to install, setup, wire up and use. Its nice to have one connection point and be able to plug pin what ever kind of trailer you might want to tow. It works great with my camper, snow mobile trailer, ATV trailer and my old beater gravel, dirt and construction material trailer. Installation: If you have a 4 wire harness already installed (like I did) you can just plug into that for all the lights, blinkers and brake lights, then simply add a break controller for trailer breaking and connect to the wiring on the multi tow adapter. It also has pass through power connections for your attached trailer- which is great for charging your camper batteries while driving down the road. We used this feature all summer while dry camping (camping with out plug in power) all over the midwest United States.

> 3 dayThis connector is the right one if you all ready have a trailer light connection.You only need to plug in your lights and run your wires for your brakes and 12v for camper . It has the optional wire for backup lights as well .It comes with a good bumper bracket and the necessary bolts , nuts and washers to get the job done . Once installed you have a connector for your boat or utility trailer or a plug for your camper or heavy pull trailer built into the same connection .

> 3 dayWhat arrived was exactly what I ordered. There is quite a price range on similar product and I went to the center as this is for my 1999 Dodge Durango that I use only to launch my boat. What I got was impressive for the price. Everything for a complete install was included (bracket, unit, wiring, screws, etc.) and the quality is good. I wasnt expecting the leads to be sealed (wax like substance to fight water/corrosion) and this is a bonus for guys like me (again, the Dodge stays at the lake snapped to the boat and is used to launch/retrieve the boat). Also, the leads at the other end (where the wiring connects to the tow vehicle) came pre-assembled with butt connectors already attached. Not only do you not have to supply the connectors to install (I know, not a huge expense but just to call it out), but what a snap to connect to your vehicle. Just put your tow vehicle wires in and crimp. Nice! The wiring is a quality grade and the bracket is sturdy. If you are price shopping and you choose this one, expect to get more than you paid for relatively speaking.

> 3 dayBracket is thin and flimsy. It flexes too easily once its installed. You have to hold the back of the bracket when pushing a plug into the receptacle, or it would easily be bent completely over. Otherwise happy with the purchase.
