I just bought a 2006 FEMA trailer in decent shape. It's got what I believe is a standard round 7-slot female adapter near the two propane tanks for operating the electric brakes and trailer brake lighting. My truck, a 2000 Land Rover Discovery II, has a smaller 1 diameter male receptacle near the Reese hitch. I cannot find an adapter to connect the two. My Rover is equipped with an electric brake controller specifically for towing an RV or other trailer equipped with electric brakes. Looked at UHaul, AutoZone and several other similar retailers with no luck. Any do-it-yourself suggestions as far as plug-and-go adapters to mate the two? My local Land Rover dealer was no help whatsoever.
I Don't think an adapter for this application exists. You will probably have to replace your receptacle with the larger unit. This is very simple if you have a 12V test light. Wiring instructions come with the new receptacle, and you can buy them at Walmart, Camping World, or any RV dealer. Just make sure the view of the receptacle on the wiring diagram is the REAR of the thing, not the front. One other option is to buy mating parts and build your OWN adapter, which is what I did to hook up my trailer to my motorhome. P.S. Walmart has a pretty fair selection of adapters and connectors FYI. Be careful though, we don't see many Land Rovers over here a Wally Mart. Maybe you should drive the Volvo when you come in.yuk, yuk. (I crack me up)
