Tail Light Converter

Question

Hello.  I have a 2003 Monaco Diplomat and just bought a tow dolly.  The MH has the standard round connector and the tow dolly has the mating connector.  When I connected the dolly to the MH and tested the lights, the lights on the dolly only came on when the MH's headlights were on; the brake lights and turn signals on the MH did not cause the lights on the dolly to come on.  The dolly manufacturer said that I need a tail light converter, which I had never heard of before.  I thought that because the MH is already rigged for towing (the previous owner towed a trailer for 10 years) that nothing would be needed, other than to connect the trailer/dolly to the MH.  Can someone please explain what's going on here?  Thanks.

Does your MH have amber turn signal? if so, the connector on the MH wired for amber turn signals.
Which round connector is on the rig? Is it a round seven blade connector.
Amber turn signals would mean that the seven pin is wired for that. You would need to get a turn signal converter 3 to 2 and then re-wire the connector.
