Default Is it ever just "plug and play"?

Picking up a new Cobra trailer at the port on Tuesday......wondering if I
can expect just to plug it into my SUV motorhome and have the lights
working correctly? Anyone with a success story ?

Trailer and SUV are both fitted witht the new large plug and receptacle.

Thanks!

Maybe--but mine wasn't.

I had the wiring digram from the Cobra (Spindlebarger) website, expecting to
make a Euro-to-7 blade RV pigtail.

The trailer came with a 7 Blade RV connector, and everything checked out
except that that the turn signals were reversed! (i.e. left turn on car ---
right turn on trailer) Customs security encouraged us to vacate the premises
ASAP--So I pulled into the nearest parking lot outside the gate and fixed
it--about a 2 minute job.
