Yep, most common for RVs. Have to have working brakes on everything. From: Nate Burke Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2018 7:36 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Trailer plug hell
I might be wrong, but I think he means 7 flat pins in a round configuration, as opposed to 7 round pins in a round configuration. What does UHaul Use for pin configuration? I figure that those trailers make it from coast to coast on a weekly basis, so whatever they do is probably the most standard.

It is round. But the wiring pinout of the connectors are diffferent. I think I am going to make come kind of comprehensive test box that has the plug, socket. Lights on each wire and a switch to energize each wire.

I am planning to do 7 pin flat for everything else. But I want the wiring to be the same and I want it to be as common to other things as possible. I wish there were standards.

I find the old 4 prong to be the most common on the trailers I have used/rented. My truck came with both a 7pin and a 4 pin jack already installed, but it also has a stock trailer brake control.

Is there a wiring orientation that is more used than the others? I have found so many different socket and plug diagrams that I find it amazing that it has never been standardized. I am going to build a converter so I can plug the semi tractor into some of my other trailers that the the flat blade connectors. It will take an electric brake controller in the semi and some kind of diode box to combine some of the lines. Those are available on the retail market. But the number of connections and the wiring of the connections seems all over the map.
