After buying the camper, I had to get a 7-pin trailer connection. I didn't want it where it could get bashed off by a rock. I had them weld the bracket to my hitch and angle it so it would be higher than the hitch. I am please with how it turned out. Just putting this out there in case anyone else needs to do the same. The 4 flat is still exposed, but I haven't hit that one yet and it would likely just bend.

Brian, make sure your trailer plug won't fall out when plugged in. Yours might fit tighter than mine (not a penis joke) and the little flip door catch on mine doesn't really do much either. I'm thinging of ways to redo mine since I want to re-route the harness. I used the 4&7 combo since it mounted on the same bracket holes that the OEM one used.

Oh mine is definitely a tight fit. It has to be ever so carefully eased in. Right now the flip door will hold it if it should come loose. For extra protection I might use a rubber........band of some sort to really fasten it.

Good idea to keep it out of the way Brian. The Tacomas are notorious for ripping them off on the trail pretty easily. I moved mine to the bumper - in the spot where the license plate light was.

Yeah, I saw yours and notice that one guy knock his off the last time we were at uwharrie. I wanted to put mine in the bumper, but not really an easy way to do it.
