Trailer wiring adapter

[stevenmd]

I need an adapter to go from the rover (D1) round 7 prong plug to the flat 4 prong plug on the tent trailer. All the RV places state they don't carry an adapter for the rover. AB is on back order. I need it for this weekend. I know, I know, I'm an idiot for waiting until the last minute. Does anyone know of a generic brand or plug that will work? If so, part number?
Thanks!

I'll have a look in the garage and see if I can find mine. The best solution is to cut off the silly Rover plug and install a universal one that has the RV round plug and the 4 flat connectors on them. The wire colours are the same, so it's an easy easy swap and about $12.

Great idea Steve. Didn't even think of that...should be a snap compared to having to rewire my whole fuel pump front to back!

Steven,
Don't cut anything. I am pretty sure I have an adapter from the LR 7-pin to the common flat-4. E-mail me with your phone number and I will call you tonight and let you know if I have one.

Too late now, but you can just splice in to the existing wires. I've posted in the tech section what you need and the wire colours for each circuit.

Not too late Tom! I ended up developing a huge vacuum leak that took me forever to pinpoint so I ended up not going. But I will be going in a few weeks. Thanks for this info!
