My sister just purchased a 2002 Bonair tent trailer. I am trying to wire it to her tow vehicle, and it has a strange to me 8 pin harness. I have some figured out, but am stuck on the rest of the pin usage. Would anyone be able to help me out?

check out etrailer.com... It should describe the pins outs for all the trailer connectors even with proper wire colors...

Never seen a 8 wire connector before...

^^^^ gives a good explanation. If you google 8 pin trailer connections there are some diagrams that might help.

I believe that IS a standard 7 pin wiring system (one socket is inactive or blocked), with a rectangular socket usually used for truck campers!

Get a standard 7 pin round socket and wire it up the same way...

Red thanks for the link. It's going in my favorites. Lots of cables that are almost impossible to find.
