Re: 7 plug to 4 plug electrical connections

Dan :
Read it again, my friend.? The OP clearly states that he expects his electric brakes to work with his 4/7 adapter once he installs a controller.
My statement is correct. A 7 pin Bargman plug is required for elective brakes. Any state requirements are irrelevant to this discussion.

I think you misunderstood, you seemed to be mistaken - per the original post, the trailer does not have brakes installed. So having a 7 way or controller isn't going to do anything.
Not all states require trailer brakes or no brakes under a certain weight.

You do need a brake controller to activate the brakes, but you also need a wired 7 pin Bargman plug to provide the extra blue wire that activated the electric brakes. A 4 to 7 pin adapter will not allow for brakes, charging the camper battery from the TV, or back up lights.?
Dave?
......?
My understanding is the 4 to 7 adapter does not activate the trailer brakes without an controller.
