My camper (2016 airstream) and vehicle (toyota) both have a 7-way flat connector. We purchased the camper many years ago and and it came with just a short "adapter" and I am trying to understand what its functional purpose is, and if I need to really be using it. Every wire goes straight from the same pin on the vehicle side to the trailer side, however on the vehicle side the ground has a wire connecting to the left, right, and running lights. There is something inside of shrink wrap on the wire, I'm assuming a diode?
Does anyone now what this is for? Camping world says they have no idea what I'm talking about. Is this something magic for toyotas, or something I should NOT be using if the previous owner had a different vehicle. Amazon and google are surprisingly unhelpful, and there is nothing on this adapter other than "tiwan" and "patented". I'm tempted to call tiwan and ask, but... starting here instead.
Thanks!
