Need help with wiring harness
We have a 1977 prowler 19' I believe. I need to know where I can find a harness to be able to tow it with my 2003 ford e350. Anyone have one of the prowlers and knows what type of harness I need?

You mean the "connector" on the van is not the same as the connector on the trailer? I assume your van has a 4-pin flat connector and your trailer has a 6-pin (or 7) round connector. Correct? If yes, you may be able to buy an adapter or even replace the connector on the van. A 4-pin connector is for lights only...does not have provisions for trailer brakes or 12vdc.
You really need to get more specific with your details.

You REALLY don't want to buy an "adapter" if you have the four pin "flat" style..
LIKE THIS ONE
Adapting that will not give you electric brakes OR the battery charge line.
Flat connectors only give you stop,turn and running lights and is only good for trailers with surge brakes or small trailers of 3000 GVW or less which do not have electric brakes.
The connector you are looking for is 7 PIN "RV" STYLE CONNECTOR which is not to be confused with several OTHER round connectors which the wiring is NOT compatible.
You will need to buy the above 7 pin RV connector and wire in the existing connections from the four pin and add a battery charge line AND a BRAKE CONTROLLER wire (you WILL NEED to purchase a brake controller if your trailer HAS electric brakes).
