Hey again,

 

Just installed my new trailer hitch and i was wondering what it the most popular type of wiring. I've heard of flat 3 and 5 and then theres a round one? Which are easier to install and should i go with one that plugs into the existing harness, and particular brands? thanks for your input

When I installed a trailer harness on mine, I used the 7 pin RV receptacle. I know it is over kill for most people, but the reason I suggest it is that you can always buy simple adaptors to step down to 6 way, 5 round, 5 flat, or 4 flat trailer harnesses. You cant go the other direction without some rewiring. I have an electric trailer brake controller installed also that you cant put on the receptacles besides the 7 pin.

 

You will have to get a module to turn the pathy's separate stop and turn lights into a stop/turn combination. I purchased a UHaul unit. Search for Slicks How to post on this.
