x2. Plus if the rentals have a 7-pin plug it is very likely just connecting to the tow vehicle will energize the pupups 12 volt system allowing you to run the fridge on propane.

I was wondering if this was the case, I wasn't sure since my tow vehicle was wired with a 4-pin plug when I had a hitch installed. I figured using the 4 pin to 6 or 7 pin adapter would mean those extra pins could not be used, and I know one of those extra pins is the 12vdc power. If that pin still receives power despite my vehicle only having a 4 pin connector that would be great.
