Trillium 5500 will be towed by flat-4 truck...which adapter do I need?

[Mike Magee]

I feel that it may be an overstatement to say that people will "almost certainly" experience sway due to a particular travel route. With appropriate tongue weight on the hitch, sway should be unlikely. Yet the brakes are indeed a valuable, nearly indispensable tool for countering sway should it occur.

Hi, all

In case anybody's looking for one the Bargman trailer harness originally used in the older Trilliums can be purchased at Bargman 7-Way Cable
Here's a pic of the wiring color scheme, which is correct for 1st Generation Trilliums.

Strange twist here, though...
The car end/trailer end patterns are the reverse of those in the document center here at FGRV

It could be that FGRV's are the wiring-from-behind view, or that the labels are mixed up...
Anyway, the above diagram is right when viewed from the face of the plug.

FGRV's show the backside where the wires go.

Thanks for clearing that up, Frederick...
Would it be appropriate for me to suggest to the tech folks that the as-viewed-from-back clarification be added to the PDF diagrams?

My 4500 has the smaller six pin. I have a jpeg but I don't know how to upload an image in a message other than from a link or external website...

The 5500 does indeed have the larger 7 pin, so I will need to convert one of them if I intend to keep them both...I already have two different connectors on my truck because I also have a cargo trailer with a 4-pin...
