Recommended Way To Protect Wires On Trailer Wiring Harness

Question

Question:

The problem is, mice get into the tongue of the trailer, hence they chew the exposed wiring harness. I may try a 1/2 inch garden hose in order to alleviate this problem. Thanks this is for the 4 wire 14foot wiring harness I just purchased from you company.

The only sort of protection we offer for wire leads such as those on the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness part # A25W5B would be wire loom, the 3/8" Diameter Wire Loom part # 39035. This can be used to cover the length of wire on the tongue or anywhere else for that matter to help protect from rodents.
