What is the Best Size Wire Loom for Bonded 4 Wire and One 12 Gauge Wire
I would go with a 3/8 inch diameter, like # 39035. That should provide enough space for the wires and still give good coverage. This loom comes in a 10 foot length. If you needed less of expect that you might have other wiring to run with the existing wires, you can go to a 1/2 inch loom, sold in 1 foot increments, # 459075-1.

Draw Tite Gooseneck/5th Wheel Connector # 20027 Recommendation on a 1997 Chevy C/K Series Pickup
The absolute easiest way to accomplish this task would be to use a Draw-Tite Wiring Adapter, part # 20027. You would simply plug this into the 7-way that is at the rear of you 1997 Chevy Silverado and then run the 7-way end up to the bed and mount it in a location that is easily accessible for your gooseneck.

How Do the Wires Connect to the Pollak 11609-EP / Junction Box and Is It Water Proof
The connections on this Trailer Wiring Junction Box, part # 38656, are made on the inside of this junction box with ring terminals. The wires will travel through the rubber grommets to enter and exit the box. This box is weather proof, but not water proof, and what that means is that it will keep rain out under normal circumstances, but if it were to be submerged the box would not be dry on the inside. My contact at Pollak said that you could probably apply a rubber sealant to the lid to make

Does a License Plate Need to be Moved When Using a Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
The legality of an obscured rear license plate varies from state to state. If you want to heed the letter of the law, the plate can be relocated to the rear of the cargo carrier. We sell quite a few cargo carriers, and to be honest, it is really not that much of an issue. You could zip tie the plate to your carrier, or use a bracket with a light like part # LPL55CB (In most states, the rear license plate is required to be lit after dark). If your vehicle has a trailer connector, you can
