4 Wire Flat Extension or 4/7 pin?

Yes, you could remove the round connector and splice in a four flat.

Thanks.
That one had a round 4 pin so I found this on on Amazon, it's 8' and has the 4 pin flat.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Here is what I thought of getting:
Hopkins 47115 4 Wire Flat Extension, 48" Length

My 7 pin plug on the MH has a 4 pin flat adapter. So I thought I would save a little cash and use this.

The Installers said it would work BUT it would have a great chance of it coming undone...is this true?

When I spoke with the installers this morning and mentioned I might use a coiled type instead (if I can find one) they said:
"As far as the coil, tech recommends instead of 4 flat, he said to go from 7 round to a 6 round since it keeps coiled longer. We have in stock and price is 104.00"
Yikes...

I can buy say 8' (too long?) of trailer cord with a 7 pin plug on one end for about $22. Is it possible just to wire a 4 flat plug on the other end to plug into the Hopkins custom Tail Light wiring kit HM 56304 on the CR-V toad?

Why can't I find a pre-made 7 pin to 4 pin flat that is coiled but longer than 3', as that seems Waaaaay to short (need 4' to 6' ???).

Whatever you do, towing a CRV, I would provide a battery charge line. If you don't, you will be using some kind of fuse or battery disconnect to keep from drawing the toad batt down.

You can buy 48 inch and some have 60 inch loops. Should find them at Walmart, Tractor Supply, O'Reilly Auto parts
Draw-Tite makes them

I made my own so it was custom length, because I couldn't find one that I liked either. But mine is from 7 pin to 6 pin, because I bought a used wiring/brake set-up that already had the wires run for the 6 pin.

That's where I found the one at Amazon (it was cheaper there than etrailer).
The only other one I can see at eTrailer is this one Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter for 7-Way to 4-Wire Flat but it's only 3'unless that's long enough??
What do others use to go between the toad (4 pin) and MH (7 pin)?
thanks
