That won't actually test a Brake controller though, will it? Especially
one that needs a brake load before it turns on. Then you need something
like this for testing.

Of course that will test the vehicle, if you want to test the trailer
you need one of these.

Nice tester. Going to get one. Will save me the effort of building

One of these:

and the appropriate adapters. Or just buy one of each:

The 7 flat stabs in a round connector is probably most common,
followed by the 6 round and then the 4 flat

Yep, most common for RVs.
Have to have working brakes on everything.

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.

7 pin flat seems to be on almost everything around here except for
the semi. 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.

7 pin round is what's most common, but then there are different
pinouts. What's "common" isn't so common.

I have to do 7 pin round for the semi. 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.

They make adapters to go between. 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.

I have a bunch of trailers and a bunch of trucks. I even have a
semi truck.
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.
Opinions please.
