Does anyone know of a reliable 7-way round (not the flat version) tow light connection converter? I have a converter from the flat/blade type of round connection but it doesn't fit in the hole, so there has to be a different kind of connector. I found a few 6 pin ones, but I need a 7 pin version to a flat connector to light my tow kit.
Any suggestions?

Maybe install a plug to your tow kit that matches

Right, but having trouble finding one that matches to even do that.

Frank,
Post a pic of your coach plug in AND a picture of your tow car plug in. That way we can help you figure out the most robust way of making the connection. I say that because I am not sure if you are wanting to go 7 round to 3 wire or 4 wire tow vehicle.
Are you also running a charge wire from the coach to keep the batteries up on the toad?

No, because these are all “blade” type of connectors. My coach looks like this.

Yes, I think that might work. Going to give it a go. Will post if it worked.

Thanks for the picture Corey, I would find a small wire brush and use some wd40 to clean those spades if you can.
