I see $ all over the place and I only need to use a trailer once a year or less.
Anyone get one of these Teknsha 118275 for $30

Be careful - the 7 way round connector is meant to control electric trailer brakes. Range Rovers do not have trailer brake controllers built in (an example of a vehicle with built in trailer brake control is a Chevy 2500 pickup with tow package)
So this connector, in a Range Rover, will light tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals but it won't stop the trailer.
Trailers that don't have electric brakes generally use the flat 5 pin connector
If you want to tow a trailer with electric brakes you can buy a remote trailer brake controller that relies on an accelerometer in the vehicle and a radio connection to a box on the trailer that cycles the brakes. Look up wireless trailer brake control on a site like E Trailer

I only need to rent and pull a light trailer maybe once very few years (need to take something big to the cabin up North). I would love to have one of those overland trailers with the tent and bike racks - but that would be just for the looks of it.
