ABSTRACT:
A bracket for mounting up to three 12 volt trailer light/electrical connectors to a receiver style trailer hitch. The bracket is capable of holding all the popular 12 volt trailer light/electrical connectors currently on the market, such as the 4 way, 5 way, 6 way, 7 way, 8 way and 9 way round connectors. The bracket (1) is also comprised of a storage compartment (2), with a spring loaded closure (8) for the 4 way flat connector and other similar connectors which do not have a mounting flange on them. The bracket (1) includes a rear support angle (24) and is designed to mount to the torsion/crosstube section of a receiver style trailer hitch by the use of two stainless steel hose clamps, which will not weaken the structural integrity of the trailer hitch assembly. An optional adapter tube/bracket (31) is available for particular trailer hitches where the mounting bracket (1) must be spaced downward to clear an obstruction such as the rear bumper of the tow vehicle. The bracket (1) may be fixed to the adapter tube/bracket (31) which in turn may be fixed to the torsion/crosstube (27). The storage compartment (2) is used to store the connector (16), which may be drawn out when to be connected to the plug of a trailer.
