Custom Wiring Harness (7-Way RV Blade Output)

from

$89.99
CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing setup. If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness (also called a T-connector) is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your vehicle’s electrical system and provides a standard trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular harness provides a 7-way RV blade connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness for certain years of the Ford F150, F150 Heritage and F250 (see application info to verify fitment). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination — maybe it’s the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it’s a campsite that overlooks one of nature’s masterpieces, or maybe it’s the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power.

Product Features:
  • Plugs into vehicle tail light assembly to provide a 7-way RV blade socket
  • Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
  • 7-way connects tail, brake, reverse, turn signals, brakes and auxiliary power

CURT – 10ft. Custom Wiring Harness Extension (Adds 7-Way RV Blade to Truck Bed) (Part No.56000)

10ft. Custom Wiring Harness Extension (Adds 7-Way RV Blade to Truck Bed)

from

$131.99
There is nothing like the luxury and power that go along with heavy-duty towing. 5th wheel RVs offer a deluxe, home-away-from-home experience unlike any other, while gooseneck trailers possess a strength that far surpasses most other trailer options. As with any trailer, however, 5th wheels and goosenecks must be equipped with the proper lighting and electrical systems, and tend to require even more complex connectors than a standard receiver-type trailer setup. Make things simple with a CURT 5th wheel / gooseneck extension harness. These wiring harnesses are designed to put an extra connector socket in the bed of your pickup truck while still retaining power to the rear connector socket mounted on your bumper. This is done by plugging into the back of the existing original equipment (OEM) harness and routing through the body of the truck to a hole in the truck bed, providing a connector that is ready to accommodate your 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. This CURT extension harness is designed to work with 7-way RV blade connectors and comes in a length of 10′. It is compatible with certain models of Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Nissan, Ram and Toyota (see application to verify fitment). When you need a towing electrical solution that allows you to switch back and forth between your receiver hitch and specialized trailer hitch, CURT gets you plugged in.

Product Features:
  • Routes a 7-way RV blade socket into truck bed while retaining use of rear socket
  • Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
  • Allows for easy connection of 5th wheel or gooseneck wiring
  • 7-way connects tail, brake, reverse, turn signals, brakes and auxiliary power
  • 10′ extension with right-angle plug for easy installation
  • Spring-loaded dust cover keeps connector clean when not in use
  • Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected
