David,
Go to http://www.rvpartsdirect.com,click on Catalog, Electrical, Trailer
Connectors & Converters, then look at "Heavy Duty Converters" and"Acar Converters"
to see what I'm talking about. Dunno if the full URL will come through,but I'll
try:

http://cds.inetbiz.com/cgi-bin/webc/rv/group.htm!?category=4&subcat=3600&subcatname=Trailer%20Connectors%2fTail%20Light%20Converters&sid=2Ql5QL8Wq

If you try that one, make sure you get the whole thing. <<grin>>
