Hopkins Towing Solutions 47025 Endurance Flex-Coil Nite Glow 7 Blade to 5 Flat Adapter

I've had this for about 2 years now, and in the last few months it's started losing connection, even with Hopkins' own Endurance socket on my truck. If I held it up it worked, but it started flickering the lights over bumps, and totally stopped working over the weekend. No amount of tweaking the blades on either side worked anymore.I got an Endurance trailer plug, hacked the glowing end off, stripped the wires, and hooked it up. Works great again, and hopefully for even longer. All I can figure is the rubber/plastic the glowing plug is made of is soft enough to deform rather than holding its position right & forcing the contacts together. Oh well, a $10 fix and it's better than new ones.

Overall, this is a good extension. The coil seems to stay wound and does not stretch out when not in use. Full length of extension is a bit under 4 feet. The "Night Glow" feature is great as it enables you to immediately see that current is flowing through from your vehicle but do not expect it to serve as a flashlight or lantern. LoL "Glow" is all you'll get ....My only gripe is that the flat end of the extension is designed for a 5 PIN FLAT connection and not a four as is on my trailer. Had to use my utility knife to cut back the rubber from the end of my 4 Pin Flat end so that it would fit inside of the 5 Pin Flat extender.

I use a cable with 7-blade ends as the connection between the RV and the Toad car. We had been using a Blue Ox cable with the 4-pin plugs replaced with 7-blade plugs but the spring in the coils had petered out. A replacement cable from Blue Ox would have been $65.This Hopkins cable at $28 was for more cost effective especially since one end already had a 7-nlade plug on it.Icing on the cake is the LED inside the translucent plug that light when the running lights are on.

This is an awesome product! 1st time we bought this it was so awesome someone stole it off out boat trailer because they knew it was better than the standard one they had I'm pretty sure that's what they were thinking. I was so happy to purchase this product again. Watch this one carefully though because it will get stolen from you too!

Heavy duty, fits a little looser than I'd like on the round connector side, but hasn't fallen out or caused any problems, even when towing in adverse conditions. Won't drag on the ground.

My last coil type adapter had traditional muli-piece "screwed together" plug components. Over time, the truck-end conector cracked and fell apart. This one features one piece, molded plugs. Nothing to fall apart! The molded in light is handy for confirming a solid connection.

looked as advertised

great product, looks to be good quality plug but have not used it yet.
