Install 4 pin adapter for cargo carrier

I have a 2018 north point and looking to install a 4 pin adapter kit with mount next to my receiver. We will be using a Rola Cargo carrier that is wired with brake and turn signal lights. Does anyone know of a harness kit that would work, maybe plug or install into the brake lights, hopefully making my life much easier instead of splicing into wires.

If I had your set up, I'd do it one of two ways. Since RV wiring isn't a standard harness like a car or truck, you'll have to splice into the RVs wiring. My choice is to solder and use shrink tubing. The only other option is to run the carrier plug wires all the way up to your trucks 4 way bumper connector. That's a long stretch and more line loss.

Due to the length of a North Point, you will need to make one. Longest harness I have seen is 36 feet.

If it was me, I would determine if there is a way to route the wires from the 7 pin wire harness to the rear bumper. Probably easiest to route under the 5ver. Hard part is the 1st 15 feet or so. If not, i bet you can find the wires in a cargo, and splice in there.

You can buy a coil of 4 pin wire harness. And a splice in a short pig tail connector.

Thank you. Looks like I might lean towards the splicing of wires near the rear tail lights and try that approach. Nothing seems to be simple.

I built a rack for the back of my 5er, I added a light bar to the rack and I spliced into the stock wiring using waterproof connectors.
