Question:

interested in this my conjunction box sits about 2 -1/2 ft back from the very front of trailer hitch, would this 6 ft coil suffice? Also, how well does the plug hold into the connector, I worry that the coil portion will try and pull the plug out of the connector. Thanks

Expert Reply:

If the junction box is 2-1/2 feet back from the front of the trailer then that would leave just 3-1/2 feet of the coiled cable # WG54006-043 to go from the front of the trailer to the vehicle and still have slack to make turns. That might not be long enough so I would add some additional wire, such as # DW04914-1, sold by the foot, to ensure there is enough slack.
