I had the original 4 pin trailer wiring harness installed by Subaru when I purchased the vehicle. However, I would like the ability to connect up my camper without having to use a 4 pin to 7 pin adaptor. In the future, I would also like to be able to charge my camper battery while driving.
Parts | Picture | Price | URL |
---|---|---|---|
Oyviny 4-Way Flat to 7-Way Round Blade and 4 Way Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter | ~$30 | amazon.ca | |
Hopkins 47180 Endurance | ~$55 | amazon.ca | |
40/30 Amp Waterproof Relay Switch Harness | ~$18 | amazon.ca | |
40A Circuit Breaker | ~25 | amazon.ca |
For now, I simply connected the 7 pin harness adaptor to the existing 4 pin connector and zip tied them together. I screwed the white ground wire into the body of the car. Later I will connect up the black wire (12v power) to the battery using the relay and circuit breaker listed in the parts section.
