After several wiring problems with a 4 pin becoming unplugged do to lose connections, I will not use a 4 pin flat plug anymore. Plus all my trailers are wired up to a 7 pin RV plug as they plug in and the lid on the plug retains the plug in the receptacle to avoid dragging a plug and wiring. Right now I'm not sure what all I will be running, a 7 Pin plug allows adaption to any other plug, which is why I run them so in the future I'm already setup for whatever I need in addition to all of my trailers already being wired with 7 pin plugs. In the future I will in fact be installing a trailer brake controller, but that's going to be a year or 2 from now when I get the little travel trailer setup with trailer brakes. I'm doing the install and want it done right the first time rather than installing a 4 pin flat then deciding later that I should have installed the 7 pin in the first place.So you want a 7 pin plug, but only need the function of a 4 pin? As in you aren't running a charge line or brake controller line?
