Sorry, newbie here! We haven't even been out in our new Outlook yet. I was going through the black bag with all the manuals and stuff and found this "thing" in there. What on earth is it? We can't figure it out! LOL

It looks like the adapter for your tow lights.

That looks to me like a spare adaptor for hooking up the lights to your toad.
There's no cable with it obviously but the plugs can wear out so it might just be a spare to match the connector on your rig.
Good luck

Don't lose it. You never know when you might have a trailer with a different light connector.

That was quick, guys! Thanks! We don't plan to tow, but you never know! I'll be sure to keep it safe.

That's exactly what it is. It connects the cord for your toad lights to the plug on the back of the motorhome. We got an extra one with our Roastmaster Falcon tow bar set up. Our dealer said they get a lot of abuse from plugging/unplugging & bombarded with road grime back there so contact eventally gets sloppy. If you keep yours long enough, you'll need to replace the plug eventually.

Used to be known as a "Bardgeman" connector, commonly used about 30-40 years ago for all towing, and heavy D.C. automotive accessories.
I am glad to see their still around , always liked them.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
That is what I call 'em too and I was starting to think I was the only one who knew that name.. THANK YOU.
Standard 7 pin round towing light/brake/battery charge connector,, Very common, When I get money I am going to add the matching socket to the Motor home and adapt to it,, I mean why plug in multiple (Brake, Light, And so on) cables when you can plug in just one?
