The best solution is going to be the part # A25W5B.
What you would want to do is use the part # A25W5B to provide the wiring and connector for your trailer but then use a junction box like part # 38656 to make organizing the wiring and running each of the wires to each circuit easier. I attached an install video for this box for you to check out as well.
I also attached a help article with trailer wiring diagrams as well.
