There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I am towing two different non-BRP trailers. Both have separate turn signals and 6-pole plugs. I bought the BRP Trailer Tongue Harness P/N 710002029, and built my own adapter. If you have a trailer without separate turn signals, you will need an additional converter. You won't need an additional isolator if you have the BRP hitch and trailer plug. The isolator module is already built in to the harness.

Converter ?
I have wired my none BRP trailer using the wire diagram posted above. I used the BRP harness ... all works great .... BUT after about 15 miles the RT will go into limp mode and shut down, I stop and wait about 1 minute and it fires right up, it continues to do this so on this last trip to Ca. to Corbin I unhooked connector and ran with no trailer lites. My non BRP trailer set hight wise low enough that the Spyder lite can be easily seen from the rear. What did I miss in the wiring set up and you mentioned additional converter ( :dontknow: ) purpose and where would this be placed in the flow of the wiring?
Thanks ahead.

I have had no such problems. Hard to diagnose your problem remotely. Do you have separate turn signals on your trailer? If not, that could be the source of your problem. You would need a 5-4 wire (3-2 wire) converter. Basically your circuits would be crossed at times. It could also be a short, too much lighting load...or even a non-related issue. When the Spyder goes into limp mode, you need to check the fault codes before you shut it down. If the problem remains, PM me and I'll send you my vitals so we can discuss it further, offline.

BRP trailer harness
I own a Fibro Concept Trailer that I used with my Goldwing before trading it for the RT, a much nicer looking trailer than the BRP one. I bought the BRP trailer harness and wired it to my trailer, all works perfect. Just need to get the trailer painted to match the RT, thanks for all of the info.

You know, if there was ever a niche to be filled, some smart vendor should manufacture an adapter to plug into the spyder and connect to a four wire trailer system. No need to read and interpret a diagram. Just plug and play baby!
I for one would purchase such an item!
