Title: Towing light connection
Post by: Lt403 on March 22, 2025, 10:58:15 am
Hi everyone
Is this connection outdated?
I am looking for a wireless light kit for our tow vehicle and can only find it in 7 pin round.

6 pin is available and it is what I used on the Toad and my coach is 7 pin.

Frank, The 7 pin has become more common place for trailer manufactures. It allows for more options to the trailer/towed vehicle. Allot of our coaches have been updated to the 7 pin. I have been updating all my trailers to the 7 pin pigtails through the years, just easier not to have to deal with the adapters. Jim.    https://www.amazon.com/MECMO-Trailer-Light-Connector-Socket

Forgot to mention the Curt wireless brake controller is a great option for trailer brakes if you don't have a hard wired brake controller. I use mine on on my vehicles without controller.

Blue Ox makes a nice one.  Just upgraded my tow'd 6 months ago.

Thanks everyone

I returned the wired lights and order a wireless set yesterday from Amazon

I'll still need to replace the receptacle on the coach to 7 pin and will be trying the rvi brake that came with the coach.

I've been using the RVI Brake3 for several years now.  Lots of online videos on getting it properly set up with either the command pad or on the machine itself.  It will allow you to tailor the braking force to the size vehicle that you're towing and give you maneuvers to test your results.  Set it and forget it.  Hardly any power draw at all, but I put a charge line on that 6-pin round that you're looking to replace on your tow vehicle.  Honda CRV's have tiny sensitive batteries.
