Wire Harness/Connector Plug
A 4-way wire harness/connector plug is wired into your RV to connect electrical power from
the RV to the second trailer for travel. This supplies power to the taillights, clearance lights,
turn signals, brake lights, etc. The 4-way wire harness/connector is not wired for operating
electric brakes.
The connector plug may build up corrosion with extended use and should be cleaned peri-
odically to insure good electrical contact. Make sure the connector plug is kept clean and
protected from road elements as you travel.
