That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
Typically 4-way wiring consists of 18 and 16 gauge wires. For a 4-way that has all 16 gauge wire you would want the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector #W787264. The part #HM38138 uses 18 gauge for all wires but the white that uses 16 gauge.
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…
It sure will David! The Jacketed ABS Trailer Cable Per Foot item #SWC89FR will indeed work with the Pollak Black Plastic item #PK12-707E. The black, brown, yellow, and green wires are 12 gauge. The blue and red wires are 10 gauge and the white is 8…
Hey Mike! We don't have an all-in-one part that comes with the brackets and pigtail so you need to order those parts separately. The #AL91RB and #AL91AB will work with the Mounting Bracket #A91BB and then for a pigtail you can use the Right Angle…
Hey Dan. The only DC to DC charger that you might be able to get away with mounting in a battery box is the OptiMate Smart Battery Charger item #MA99JR. It has a weatherproof case but it's still restricted to inside use only. An easier and more…
Hey Lee! The Victron parts can get pretty confusing. The Victron Orion-Tr #VN75ZR is only designed to be a power supply for DC loads, not for battery charging. You do not want to use this converter to charge any type of battery. To charge your…
Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. We do offer the parts you are looking for re-wiring your trailer, but we would not have everything as a full all-inclusive kit. What I recommend is a 7-way with junction box, then you can use jacketed 7-wire, or…
It sounds like you are on the right track to rewire your cattle trailer. You are correct about the wire colors on the 7-way connector that you purchased. The colors that you see on the 7-way connector are typical for RV style trailers rather than…
A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…
