Multi plug trailer socket??
My '03 E-350 ... only has 7 pin socket for the trailer.
We tow both travel trailer and boats with this, and ALWAYS seem to loose the 7 pin to 4 pin adapter. Only when we need it of course.
Has anybody swapped in a socket like the F series has with both 7 and 4 pin on the same 'plate'??
Thanks!

I haven't swapped one in but I did install one from scratch on my 04 E350. I bought a Hoppy 7/4 pin combined connector and spliced it. I soldered the wires and covered the connections with heat shrink tubing to guarantee a good connection and protect from weather. I think I spent 30 minutes doing the actual splicing. If you can find a factory F150 connector you might be able to swap out the pins between the connector housings.

7 on the boat would be ok, but we pull other folks boats too now and then.
I found 'HOPPY'... www.trailerwiring.com. Now to search their products. That just might do the trick!
Many thanks!

Buy a second 7 to 4 way adapter, stuff it into a zip loc bag, and zip tie it up under the bumper. For $5 it's the easy solution I can think of. I keep one in the van and one in the trailer emergency box just in case.
