Expert Reply:

The best spot to install the Trailer Connector is on the bed sidewall on the drivers side, between the wheel well and the tail gate.

We have an installation video showing this Curt 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness # C56000 being installed on a 2002 Ford F250.

You might want to consider using some dielectric grease, part # 11755 on the connections to provide protection from moisture.
