Have a 25k twin axle dually tilt deck trailer i need to rewire. It's a mix of cobbled together garbage and orginal 40yr old brittle as shit wiring. Currently only have brake lights and turns working. Need clearance and brakes.
I looked at brand new trailers for ideas and most made me want to barf. Scotch Loks and those cheap blue plastic butt connections, so water will kill that in a year or two, if that. The wiring on this trailer WAS well done from Miller, but it's crumbling apart from age.
Have a good pigtail and 7 post junction box at the tongue, and going from there.
Run a main 7 wire cable down the frame all the way to the pivot? Splice off that with 4 wire on the tilt for lights and 2 wire for brakes?
Junction boxes there?
The axles are walking beam, so need a good quality wire that hold up to movement.
Have a vague idea, but looking for suggestions on products. Amazon ideally as shipping is $$ from most other places
