2000 Bounder and Tow Dolly

[sclaryusa]

I just purchased a tow dolly with brakes to pull behind my motorhome. I do not know what to buy to connect the two together electrically. Any help would be greatly apprreciated!!

Welcome to irv2. Each should have a plug. A male end on the MH and probably ( I really don't know ) the same on the dolly. That's the way my MH and tow car are set up. You'll need to get an umbilical cord to match the prongs.

You're going to need 7 pin connectors on both the dolly and the MH.
Also need a brake controller and probably will Need to run a 12 gauge wire from the controller to the MH plug. Your MH may already have the wire going back but at that age probably doesn't. I know Winnebago didn't start running the wire standard until after 2005, suspect all manufacturers started about the same time.
Check etrailer web site for what you need.

Edit - just retread your post, assume the dolly has electric brakes not surge?

If you have electric brakes, you'll need a compatible brake controller and install and wire it from front to back. In the back, you will probably find wires to hook up lights. I'm guessing you have a 2 filament combined brake/turn light bulb in both RV and trailer? If not, you'll need a converter to hook up separate brake/turn lights to 2 filament bulbs in trailer. You'll need two 7 pin sockets and an umbilical cord to connect the two.

If you have surge brakes, you won't need the controller.
