I rewired my light bar for my boat trailer with the items I purchased. Before I built the the light bar, every time I used my boat trailer I would waste valuable sailing or fishing time repairing faulty lights. The do not last long when you submerge them in salt water. This light bar now version 3.0 have given little trouble over the years
by: Joseph 10/01/2022
Everything worked as expected. The new lights are great. The trailer connector was easy to install. Very happy with the results
by: Eric05/02/2022
The wire was not included in my package. But I did get 21 2" tie down straps so if my 21' of wire ever shows up it won't go anywhere.
by: Gene S10/01/2014
Although I was at first apprehensive in placing my first order due to the website not working correctly for a PayPal payment, then not appearing to work for a credit card payment, a call to eTrailer confirmed that my order had been received after all. From that point on, the transaction was fast and flawless. Parts were shipped and received quickly, and were exactly as advertised. The extra length of trailer light wire was much appreciated. I will be a repeat customer.

A year along the eTrailer products are working like new. Great products and service.

This wire exactly what I need to wire my Jeep from front to back so I can have lights from my RV to my kayak rack. It is protected with an outside cover unlike the regular four flat. It is also all copper not copper clad aluminum like many other sellers have. Price is very good.

Still works great. Have had no problem with the wire.
by: Bob C12/20/2016
Great trailer wiring! The jacket helps protect the wires and they are easy to separate in order to put on terminals. Too cold here to install but a warm spell is coming this weekend. I'll move the trailer into the garage and have a go.

I install the wiring and it has been going for a year now. Good tough wire.
by: Bryan S. 03/29/2017
For a great price, you are getting quality. I use trailer lights every day at work. I'm hooking and unhooking multiple times per day with exposure to wind, rain and snow. 4-way wires typically are glued together and so you get less protection from rips and breaks than the jacketed wire here. A lot of trailers come with cheap wiring like that. If you are re-wiring your trailer, do it once with this wire.
by: Richard A.05/11/2020
I bought wiring and connectors to rewire a 30+ year old utility trailer. All items purchased were of excellent quality and the trailer lights work well. I was especially pleased with the jacketed 4 conductor wiring.
by: Don 04/01/2020
Perfect for replacement trailer wiring on any trailer. The added covering helps keeps wiring sealed and protected. Worked perfect with heat shrink sealed connectors to stop future corrosion of wires.
by: Robin A06/24/2017
It has been over a year since I had rebuilt my trailers using parts purchased at etrailer.
This is the first time that I have been able to put any real miles on the unit and with 800+ miles the lights and everything performed flawlessly. I will not think twice of making additional purchases from etrailer.

Worked great to create a 4 wire flat extension cord under a fifth wheel camper for the boat trailer, in conjunction with Quick Fix 4 pole flat car and trailer ends-48195.

Etrailer, is the place to go with their large inventory of towing, trailer and vehicle accessories. Attentive ordering process and quality of products. Very good asset for my farming operation.

Used this wire to install LED brake lights and backup lights on my RV. Works perfect and looks clean.
by: Tommy11/13/2016
We bought the multi conductor cable to replace the pendant cord on an motorized cable hoist, that was too short. It was the only product that met our needs, for the application. I has worked out fine since we installed it, great product.

Works as installed after 1 year. Outer PVC jacket is very smooth, aiding installation into PVC conduit. I wire all heavy duty trailers with conduit to protect the wires.
by: Darren07/01/2018
quality wiring and the sheath is very robust providing good protection of the wires inside. If I ever need more I wouldn't hesitate to buy this product again.

Ordered 12 Ga jacketed two wire (brake wire) and 16 Ga bonded four wire to rewire my 18' tandem axle trailer. Good high quality wire and arrived in very short time due to fast shipping from etrailer.com. Highly recommend this company.
by: Greg S.07/02/2016
Love the flat design that facilitates making the connection to the vehicle inside the vehicle that much more convenient. Would be better if the color coding was black, brown, yellow, and green to match the flat four wire that is the standard with most trailer light kits.
by: David 05/26/2015
I was a bit disappointed in the wire cable which appeared to be round on your website. I was expecting it to be round so as to go through the various holes and clips on my trailer and it is flat. It'll work fine but will not look quite as sanitary as I had planned.
by: Doug03/23/2018
It would be difficult , if not impossible, to have a more helpful person facilitating the placing of an order than Paula at etrailer. I swapped out all incandescent light fixtures on my trailer with led, and the buyiing/ selection process was made a pleasure with her help.
by: Jason S02/16/2016
Used this to run power up to a push bar from my center console switch box to control several different LED lights. Very flexible and I enjoyed the flat design to run under carpet & trim easier.
by: Lyle03/10/2014
The jacket on the wire is tough but doesn't pull well. Also, the wire colors are for VAC, not conventional trailer wiring colors. Other than those two issues, the wire is fine. Note that the wire is flat, not round.
by: Bob G10/12/2016
Nice heavy jacketed wire. As with the rest of the order, it arrived in short order.

I ordered a number of products that Im finally incorporating into a major restoration. The wire is nice, especially after hearning the neighbors horror story about cheap imported wire gone bad.
by: DanR04/18/2017
Great product for rewiring my dump trailer. The protective jacket is great for lighting cable on a dump trailer.
by: Tech401/29/2017
Very flexible and easy to run through conduit. Used on several different trailers, from boat to dual axle flatbed.

- What Kind Of Wire Is Deka 16/4 Wiring DW03240-1The Deka 16/4 Wiring # DW03240-1 you were checking out is actually annealed bunched copper wire strands.
view full answer... - Wire Gauge Wire is Used on Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller The Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 referenced in your question uses 10 gauge wire for the 12V (black) and brake output (blue) wires and 12 gauge wire for the brake switch (red) and ground (white) wires. This is the case with all Tekonsha brand brake controllers.
view full answer... - Wire Color/Function of Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller to Install on 2013 F150 w/ OEM PigtailIt sounds like you are asking about the OEM brake control harness for your 2013 F150. The color and function of the wires exiting the rear of the controller are as follows: Blue-Output to Trailer Brakes White-Ground Red-Stoplight Switch Connection Black-12-Volt Power Supply Ford offered two different OEM pigtails over the years, one with a Pink wire for 12-volt power, Red wire for stoplight switch, White is ground and Blue for output to brakes. Some pigtails had a brown wire that is not...

- How to Test Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller that Stopped WorkingTesting the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like the Quickee Tester, part # PTW2993, you should get output to the controller side of the wire you severed. If the manual slide activates the trailer brake output wire properly, try the brake pedal. If the brake pedal activates the brake output properly also then the problem is farther back...
view full answer... - Availability of 18/6 Wire in Rubber Cable The only 18 gauge wiring we have available is the Deka Bonded 3 Wire # DW02923-1, which is sold by the foot. This 3-wire bonded parallel wire has 16/30 stranding with a maximum voltage of 60V. If you are able to go a bit thicker we do also have the Deka 16/4 Gauge Wire # DW03240-1, which features four 16-gauge wires fully coated in a PVC jacket. This wire is also sold by the foot. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
view full answer... - Can I Get 100 Feet Of Bonded 4 Wire For My Trailer?We do have options available for 4 wire for your trailer, but we do only have it as sold by the foot. With that said, for standard 4 wire, you will want the Deka # 16-4B-1. This is the bonded 16 gauge wire used on just about anything and you will just need to order the quantity as 100 to get the needed 100 feet section you require. However, we do also have the Deka Jacketed 4-Wire # DW03240-1. This is also sold by the foot and uses 16 gauge wires, but the jacket also offers more protection....
view full answer... - 16 Gauge Wiring Options for the Hopkins Replacement Endurance 4-Way Trailer ConnectorWhile it is possible this may work, I did contact Hopkins who confirmed this Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48192 is designed for use with 16 or 18-gauge, not the 14-gauge of the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector w/ Jacketed Cable # W787274. They did not recommend this approach of stripping wires to make it fit. The Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement is not a great long term solution but with the appropriate length of Deka Wire - Jacketed 4-Wire...
view full answer... - Is there an Extension Cable for Replacement Digital Wall-Mounted Thermostat # AT15029I did some checking but could not find an extension cable for Replacement Digital Wall-Mounted Thermostat # AT15029. The wiring would have to be extended the old fashioned way; by splicing in wires. I recommend using jacketed wire # DW03240-1 and butt connectors # 05731-5. The jacket will help protect the wires when you are performing the installation. This wire bundle is sold by the foot so for 20 feet change the quantity to 20.
view full answer... - Recommended LED Tail Lights For 2017 Alto Safari Camper TrailerI understand why you want to add additional lights on your camping trailer. I recommend part # STL78RB. This is an oval 6-1/2 inch LED light with the stop, turn, and tail light function. LED lights require much less power than incandescent lights. These are surface mount lights that have an overall measurement of 7-9/16 inches long, 3-5/16 inches wide, and 3/4 inches deep. This is a three-wire light. The wires have the following functions: Red for turn signal and brake, Black is for tail...

This will be 48 inches long and all the Easy-Pull Harnesses will come with 18 gauge wires for the brown (taillight), green (right turn and brake), and yellow (left turn and brake) wires and then the white (ground) is a 16 gauge wire. This will typically be the standard used with most manufacturers. If you wanted something more heavy duty, you will need assemble one. The Deka Wire - Jacketed...
view full answer... - Is There a 4-Pole Female Wiring Connector Like the 3-Pole Bulldog WinchThe Bulldog Winch plug you referenced, part # BDW20178A, is specifically for their winches and we don't have a 4 pole version of it. If you're looking for a 4-pole trailer female connector you can use part # PK11402 which doesn't have the wire leads on it but you can add as much of part # DW03240-1 as you need since it's sold by the foot.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wire is Used for Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUOThanks for reaching out! The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 uses 16 gauge wire for those systems. I confirmed this with my contact at Demco. We have a variety of options available by the foot here on our site: Single Wire - # 16-1-1 3-Wire - # SWC6422-1 4-Wire - # DW03240-1 I recommend using 16 Gauge Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 for the most secure connection.
view full answer... - Wiring to Connect 5-Flat on Trailer and 4-Round on Boat to 5-Flat on Tow VehicleAlthough we do not carry a wiring harness/adapter that will allow you to split the 5-flat on your tow vehicle to allow you to connect to both the 5-flat on the trailer and the 4-round on the boat, I have a solution for you. You will need the RoadMaster 4-Wire Connectors, # RM-910030-4, Jacketed 4-Wire (sold by the foot), # DW03240-1, and the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors, # DW05745-5. I recommend that you splice into the wiring, behind the 5-flat on your trailer, in order to add the...
view full answer... - Recommmended 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring for Cargo Carrier Light Strip on Travel TrailerMy recommendation for your application is to add a junction box like # 3375601101 which will allow you to connect another wire without "splicing in" on the trailer side and run wiring like # DW03240-1 for a longer run or # 16-4B-1 to the rear of your trailer and then use # HM48190.
view full answer... - Options for 16 Gauge Wire to Power a 12 Volt Spot Sprayer in Bed of 2012 Ford F-150We carry different types of 16 gauge wire. We have bonded 4-Wire, # 16-4B-1, jacketed 4 wire, # DW03240-1, bonded 3-Wire, # 16-3B-1, and single wire # 16-1-1. Each of these are available in increments of 1 foot. So if you needed 8 feet you would enter 8 in the quantity box for an 8 foot length of wire. I would over estimate it because it is better to have too much wire than not enough. You also might be interested in some heat shrink tubing # DW05744-10 to keep the splices water tight.
view full answer... - Installing Trailer Connector on RV for Towing TrailerI'm assuming you're wanting to know how to wire your RV to tow a trailer, is that correct? This will depend on which trailer connector your trailer uses. If the trailer uses a simple 4-pole connector like part # 18004, you would install a 4-pole on the RV. If your RV uses a separate bulb behind an amber colored lens for the turn signals, you'll need to use a 4-pole with a converter, like part # 119147KIT. If your RV uses the same bulb for brake lights and turn signals, with a red lens...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring For Double Towing Camper and Motorcycle Trailer Behind 2016 TundraIt sounds like you want to tow 2 trailers and need the wiring for both. It is completely possible to do that as long as your truck can handle the total weight of the two loaded trailers. For the wiring, there are a couple of different options. You can run an extremely long harness like you mentioned that will be a simple customized length or you can tap into your trailer wires to create a harness at the back of your camping trailer. My recommendation is to do the latter. To tap...
