Helpful Expert Reply:

To get power to the pin in the 1:00 position of the # PK12703 7-way trailer connector, you'd run a length of 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot from the terminal for the 1:00 pin on the 7-way to the positive battery terminal, via a # 9510 40 amp circuit breaker. You'd need two # DW05741-1 ring terminals to connect to the breaker and a # 44-5356A ring terminal to connect at the battery.
