Question:
I want to pull a trailer behind my 5th Wheel and need to have a hookup for my lights/brake lights on the towed trailer behind it. Do you have a kit for that?

We do not have any kits for adding a trailer connector to a 5th wheel trailer, but you can simply run the wires from as far back as you can tap into the signal on your 5th wheel to the rear. I suggest using the Deka Bonded 4 Wire # 16-4B-1 sold by the foot. You can use quick splice wire connectors like # SWC501925-1. For the back of your RV, you can use the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights - Vehicle End # HM48190.
If you need to run wires on your trailer, I recommend the Optronics 20 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 30" Ground Wire # A20WB.
