    Tow vehicle to AVX trailer connector ?

    Hope everyone is having a great Easter weekend!!
    My new AVX 181 will be arriving in the next couple weeks. I want to confirm the trailer electrical connection so my vehicle has the correct plug. My understanding is the AVX trailers have a Bargman 7 way round connector. I believe it is a 7 way “blade” connector, not a pin connector. Can anyone confirm that ?
    Also, my vehicle has a 4 flat pin connector. Has anyone used one of the 4 flat to 7 round adapters on their tow
    vehicle ? I realize with a 4-7 adapter, the backup lights connection must be wired separately.
    Any input will be appreciated !
    Thanks !!

    I was in a similar situation when I purchased my boat, I ended up going to a hitch shop and got a professional installation for that 7 way connector plug to work properly.

    I highly recommend doing the same as Lou22 suggested. Go to a reliable trailer hitch store (I used LineX) and have them install a 7-PIN connector. I had them install one that had a 4-PIN connector as well in case I needed one in the future.

    I used a 4 to 7 converter on old tow vehicle. Worked awesome. I had to run a wire and tap into the back up lights. EZ PZ. Go to ETrailer.com they have everything you need. The install video was very good.
