My caravan works great with my Tundra hitch

Good price but does NOT work with all of my 7 trailers. My caravan works great with my Tundra hitch but not this one. The top half of this connector doesn't want to go all the way. My 7 to 4 adapter works fine.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Upgrade available

Hopkins does good things. as a tip

Hopkins does good. As a note, put real terminals on the wires instead of just stripping them and slipping them under the screws. Bonus tip. нанесите немного смазки на винты, чтобы предотвратить ржавчину, чтобы вы могли работать с ними через несколько лет, когда ваша "жена" (потому что нет, нет, это, конечно, не ВЫ.) обратно в мусорное ведро, и его нужно заменить опять so and. Also apply some lubricant to the socket itself and to the trailer plug.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

It only takes a few minutes to decode, but it would be nice to use the same labels as everyone else. Made in China so no surprise

Working but I have a comment. On almost every wiring diagram on the web for 6-wire plugs/sockets, the terminals are marked with standard wire colors. Black to 12V, white to ground and so on. Not this connector, the black one is marked AX and the white one GD. It only takes a few minutes to decode, but it would be nice to use the same labels as everyone else. Made in China, no wonder.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Empty
