Question:
Got new backing plates/brakes/hubs from you guys for my RV and now I want to replace all wiring to them at the same time. There is a junction box in the 5th wheel from which I will extend a separate 12-2 or 14-2 cable to each wheel. That way I can easily troubleshoot later. Question for you is do you sell a junction box where I can attach 4 hot and 4 grounds to individual bars. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
My recommendation for the junction box is the Pollak 10 terminal Junction Box, # PK52248. This will give you individual terminals for your 8 contacts. I'd suggest using the other two for a hot supply line and a ground line so you can just add jumper wires within the junction box itself. Your application will be a customized one, but this additional junction box will allow you to have the simple troubleshooting you desire.
I would not go smaller than 12 gauge wire for trailer brakes, that is # 12-2-1.
