Trailer plug pin adaptor

[2Gunns]

Has any come up with a Spyder to standard 4-pin wiring harness adaptor for a (non-BRP) trailer? I understand you have splice into existing harness and run a 4-pin, just wandering if someone has come up with a way o make that as simple as "plug-n-go"

About to get my hitch installed, finally. Trailer comes next....yeaah!

A 4-wire trailer is a tough nut to crack. The Spyder RT has separate turn signals, and two (separate) brake wire outputs (you can use either, or wire the trailer to use both. As a result, you cannot get a combined brake output without losing the turn signal function, unless you use a converter. Unfortunately, the solid-state converters don't seem to work well in this application...especially if you have LED trailer lights. Easiest way is to add separate turn signals to the trailer, and wire accordingly, then add a BRP trailer tongue harness (if you only use one trailer), or make an adapter from the BRP trailer harness to a 5-pole plug. Sorry, no plug-n-play.

I see where BRP has an adaptor for the trailer, converting it to a 4-pin if you wish to pull the RT-622 trailer with any make of bike.

I was hoping for the complete opposite type adaptor.... doubt I'll buy the BRP trailer (not yet anyway) but would like to use my RT with a 4-pin trailer.

What have others done?

I spliced in the harness that came with the Spyders hitch to the harness that came with my Uni Go trailer. It wasn't a 4 pin though.
