Trailer 7 pin to 7 and 4 pin adapter

I have a class A that has a 7 pin plug. I need an adapter that would allow me to connect vehicle which uses 7 pin for brake buddy and a 4 pin that would allow me to use external trailer lights on roof. Because of wiring mod to use brake buddy, 4 pin in back of car at car hitch doesn't let external roof lights light up when motorhome brakes are applied.
Is anything like this possible and is it for sale?

Hikerdogs: You understand as I do. Changing the receptacle out to provide the 7 pin and a four flat.

I'm not sure which posts you're referring to as to not understanding the OP's request. We installed a socket combination similar to the one I linked on our 2001 Winnebago Adventurer. The 7 pin socket powered the lights and electric brakes on our tow dolly. The 4 pin connector powered the magnetic brake/tail lights we put on the trunk of the car.

Here's a link to a 4 pole and 7 pole socket you can install.

The flat 4 pole socket connects the right brake light, right directional light, left brake light, left directional light, and running lights.

Here's a link to the standard trailer connector wiring diagrams.

Check Ebay too, they have a plethora of adapters. 🙂
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

I did not find any adapter that has the capability of using both the 7 pin RV and a flat four at the same time.
What I showed was a replacement receptacle that accomplishes it.

Many RV stores have it.. So do some auto departments and parts stores

U-Haul Hitch World will have it.. IN STOCK at least every one I've seen, Some U-Haul stgores (NON Hitch World) will also have it.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.
2005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total loss
after a semi "nicked" it. Still have the radios
Kenwood TS-2000, ICOM ID-5100, ID-51A+2, ID-880 REF030C most times

I needed a 7 prong plug to a 4 prong round. Could not find it, Only could find 7 to 4 flat, I cut off the 4 round and replaced it with a 7 prong male plug. Problem solved. Works great.

Thanks enblethen.
I looked these over and not quite what I had in mind. They dont look like they will fit directly into a 7 pin RV socket. I may be wrong but male side doesnt look likeit would sty in with RV lid holding down. If you are familiar with just "adapter", that has a rv style 7 pin and a 4 pin extension or feed off let me know.
But thnks for quick repy
