I used the connector that Aspen provided.
YES, it was kinda bulky, but it is the industry standard for 6 wire round - hint - easy to get and fits others as well.
you can try http://www.etrailer.com/faq/wiring.asp  (this page is not available - will redirect to a general trailer and trailer parts area 0 still good looking at)

or - http://www.hmwinet.com/trailer_wiring.htm which is the same but different supplier

Hope this helps - john b

ps - the camper WILL be wired as shown below.
