Cobra trailer wiring diagram

FYI: You can purchase a 7-to-4 pin adapter at auto
and RV supply stores. If you have a 7-pin female electrical
plug on your car, this will convert it to the American
4-pin plug on many trailers.

Dave,

The Cobra site has diagrams for 7-pins and 13-points.
My Cobra has a 7-
pin blade connector, which according to my on-site
engineer says is
wired incorrectly compared to the diagram.

Has anyone changed the Cobra 7-pin setup to a 4-pin?
My last Cobra
trailer had a 4-pin flat connector. I'm wondering
if I should switch
it to that.

Ted - The Cobra trailer can be ordered with the European
standard
connector (big round connector with big round pins),
or a USA RV
common trailer connector (blade pins, round connector).
Perhaps
yours is the latter ? Is this trailer as new or has
it been rewired ?

See ya, Dave

I use two tow vehicles -- a Toyota pickup for some weekends and an RV
for others. The pickup has both 7-way blade and 4-way flat. The RV has
6-way round (that's with one in the center). A problem I had (until
yesterday) was I could not find a 6-way to 7-way adapter, only 7-way
to 6-way (which of course are backwards gendered), so when pulling
with the RV I had to use a 6-to-4 and a 4-to-7, which looked like
something Rube Goldberg put together. As my engineer reported in my
earlier post, there was a problem with the 4-to-7 adapter. He fixed
that, and did the rewiring that Marc suggested, now everything works
-- with his van at least.
