Walmart, AutoZone, or places of like ilk have a 'kit', usually about $20.00
or so.  It's a black box with a group of wires going in, and a group going
out.  You can use Scotch-Locks (squeeze-on wire taps) to connect the ingoing
wires to the van's ground, right turn, left turn, brake and 'parking' light
wires.  The box will output the right signals for a 'flat-four' type
connector - which is the most common on small trailers.  Total cost - even
if you have to buy the connector for the trailer side - should be under
$30.00.
