• Parts Needed to Add Reverse Function for TecNiq LED Trailer Tail Light
  To add the reverse function on your trailer you need a 7-Way connector and enough wiring to run from the front to the back of your trailer. Here are the parts you need to get the wiring from your tow vehicle back to the TecNiq LED Trailer Tail Light # TN33XR: - Junction Box Kit # 3430001-JBK - 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20043 - 16 Gauge Wire # 16-1-1 - Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 - 3-Wire Pigtail # A45PMB (per light) - 2-Wire Pigtail # A42PMB (per light)

• Can An Extension Be Used With The Roadmaster 12v Outlet Kit
  It's totally normal to splice on some extra wire to the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to get it to the battery so I would just use some 16 AWG # 16-1-1 and a butt connector # DW05744-10 instead of using the extension # RM-9331. The extension would technically work but just splicing in more wire is a bit cleaner of a setup.

• Changing Trailer 4-Way Wiring to 7-Way Wiring for Extra Function and Compatible Connector to Truck
  To switch your boat trailer from a 4-way to a 7-way connector, I recommend using the 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long # H20044 along with heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5. You will ground the white wire to your trailer frame using # 44-5310A and then connect the running lights, right turn/stop, left turn/stop, and reverse light. To the reverse light (yellow wire on # H20044) you will connect # 16-1-1 wire sold by the foot to lead to your trailer reverse lights that...

• Wiring Diagram for Home Made Trailer
  I've linked an article on trailer wiring that includes a diagram you might find helpful. One solution to help wire everything together is to use a junction box with your trailer's 7-way connector, like # 277-000141. This way you can run all of your trailer's wires to the box instead of to the back of the connector. To wire you brakes you'll want to use 10 gauge wiring # 10-1-1. For the lights you can use 16 gauge, # 16-1-1. Both are sold by the foot. When looking into the back of...

• Is There an Adapter Plug for the Furrion Vision S Monitor to Allow Use of Monitor Inside Trailer
  I may have a solution for you, but there isn't a standard plug available for the Furrion # FCE48TASL-05 that would allow you to plug it into an outlet. What I would recommend is that you use the # C-FOS07TAPK-006, cut off the cigarette adapter plug end and then run a length of 16-gauge wiring # 16-1-1 (sold by the foot) directly to the trailer battery and connect it with a ring terminal like the # DW05702-1. This would allow you to have a plug wired directly inside the camper and one that...

• Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch C13411 and C13294 For 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG
  You are correct that both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294 and # C13411 are confirmed to fit your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG. Both hitches have a hidden crosstube meaning that only the receiver itself will be visible once installed. I do however recommend the # C13294 as it has a slightly higher tongue weight rating at 750lbs, and a slightly higher trailer weight rating at 7500lbs. For wiring you will first need to install a 4-way connector using # 119250KIT. With a 4-way...

• Parts Needed to Add Back Up Lights & 7-Way Connector on Boat Trailer
  We can get you set up to add back up lights and a 7-way to your boat trailer, and I'll go over what you'll need. Let's start with the back up lights, and for your boat trailer you'll want submersible lights like you said, the GloLight LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer - Submersible # BUL111CFPG. This will use a 2-wire (power and ground) pigtail, either the Right Angle 2-Wire Pigtail # A49PB or 2-Wire Pigtail # A45CB. Then for added wire I recommend 16 Gauge # 16-1-1, which is sold...

• Comparing the Hot-Line LED Trailer Backup Light and GloLight LED Combination Trailer Tail Light
  In regards to light output, the Hot-Line LED Trailer Backup Light part # 328-003-6017W will physically put out more light than the reverse light portion of the GloLight LED Combination Trailer Tail Light part # STL161RLB as it has twice as many diodes (12 vs 6).

• How to Make Ground Connection on Optronics IL61CB Trailer Dome Light
  The Optronics # IL61CB dome light picks up its ground connection through the mounting hardware's connection to the metal structure of the trailer that's connected to the trailer frame. If you can't attach the lamp to metal that's in contact with the trailer's frame, you can use a jumper wire from one of the mounting screws to the trailer frame or to a metal structure of the trailer that's attached to the trailer fame. You can construct a jumper by using a length of # 16-1-1 with a ring...

• How to Install Interior Lights to a Cargo Trailer with 7-Wire System
  While we do not have a complete wiring kit for your interior light for a cargo trailer, you can simply use 16-gauge wire # 16-1-1 to install the light into the 12v power pin on your junction box. This solution provides power only when the 7-way plug is plugged in. If you need an interior light option, I suggest the Peterson Great White LED Trailer Interior Cove Light - 1000 Lumens - 18" Long # 359-3. Depending on the size of your trailer, you can always add more than 1 of these lights...

• How Does Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Get Wired To Trailer?
  I would be happy to help! Electric Trailer Brakes like the # AKEBRK-6R you were looking at are pretty easy to wire to your trailer. On the back of the brake assembly there is two wires that go to the brake magnet. Pick one of the wires and ground it to the frame of your trailer by adding a ring terminal # DW05737-1 and a self tapping screw. If the wire is not long enough to reach the frame then you will need to add a piece of # 16-1-1. The other wire going to the brake magnet will need...

In order to add reverse lights to your trailer would would need to have a 7-Way on the trailer and a 7-Way on the vehicle. On the vehicle side,...

• Installing a Brake Controller Onto a 2015 Jeep Cherokee With Aftermarket 4-way and 7-way Installed
  I can help you finish up the installation of your brake controller on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited. I really like the Tekonsha P3 # 90195. This brake controller is a proportional controller, which means whatever pressure you press the tow vehicles brakes it will apply the same pressure and intensity to the trailers brakes. It also has a customizable full display screen which provides you with a full error messages instead of codes that need to be deciphered. If you go with the P3 Brake...

• Availability of 16 Gauge Wire for Trailer Lights
  The Optronics 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W2GWB that you referenced has 18 gauge wire for the ground and 20 gauge wire for all of the lighting functions. I check with all of the other wishbone harnesses that we have and they all use similar gauge wiring none of which is 16 gauge. For 16 gauge wiring you can use the Deka Bonded 4 Wire # 16-4B-1 which is sold by the foot. I recommend using heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05744-10 and the Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way...

• How To Wire The Hopkins Backup Sensor System # HM60100VA To Power
  Hey Jim, The Hopkins Backup Sensor System # HM60100VA needs to be ran to the reverse light circuit so you'd have to run the wire through the rear hatch to the grommet at the hinge and then run it over to either the driver or passenger side tail light. To determine which wire is the reverse light you can test the wires running to the tail light with a hook and probe tester # PTW2993 and see which one only has power when the vehicle is in reverse and then use a butt connector # DW05744-5...

• Recommended Backup Lights For Boat Trailer
  The Optronics LED Trailer Utility Light - Submersible - 10 Diodes - Oval - Clear Lens # BUL28CLPB is a great option to add to the back of your boat trailer for additional light when backing up the trailer in the dark. Adding 4 lights total with 2 in the front and 2 in the rear sounds like a good plan as it will also give you additional light around the trailer. I would not cut any holes in the frame of the trailer, and would source hardware from your local hardware store and mount them...

• Wire Size to Use with Wiring in Opti-Brite LED RV Dome Light w/ Switch # ILL22CB
  The Opti-Brite LED RV Dome Light w/ Switch # ILL22CB only draws .7 of an amp when active so basically even the thinnest wire you'd find to use with this would easily be enough. This is due to fact LED lights draw such a small amount compared to standard bulbs. So realistically you could go super thing but super thin wire is harder to deal with so I'd go with 16 gauge as it's thick enough to be easy to work with but not overkill. We sell 16 gauge wire by the foot with part number 16-1-1.
