The trailer plug supplies power to the RV
brakes, tail lights, clearance lights, turn signals,
brake lights, etc. Wiring to operate your brakes
must be the same size in both the tow vehicle
and RV (the RV brake wiring is 12-gauge wire).

It should be noted that the center terminal is

When attaching wires to your tow vehicle,

for moisture protection. On the tow vehicle
side, wire color alone should not be relied
on, always test and match the function to
the appropriate terminal.

Maintenance

Make sure the connector plug is kept clean

travel. When not in use, store the trailer plug
and cable, and lock the compartment door.
Generally speaking, RV's are wired to

has been changed should be tested when
replacing for any reason to be sure the
function matches the terminal.
