• 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.

Trailer Wiring Adapter for Non-CamAm Trailer

I have a non-CanAm trailer that I would like to pull behind my 2012 Spyder RT but am having trouble finding a trailer wiring adapter to go from the CanAm 4-pole square-shaped plug to a standard 4-pole flat plug on my trailer. I was trying to avoid having to make a special adapter, but I can't find a standard adapter available for purchase.

This is the CanAm Spyder plug (approximately 1/2" square).

If anyone know of a standard adapter that might be available, please let me know.

The fastest and cheapest solution is to cut the trailer 4 flat in half. Put the 2 halfs together to make a homemade square 4.

Or I would recommend going to a well stocked autoparts store or a trailer supply store then buy a matching square 4 and flat 4 and wire up an adapter. The wire colors will match on both plugs so easy to figure out.
 
What I did was buy a set of each pig tail (only way to buy them that I know of) and connect them. Easy pezzy. I used butt connectors, heat shrink tube each wire and then put in large heat shrink tube. Has worked well for 3 years. Took about a 1/2 an hour. :yes:
