Expert Reply:

For your 2002 WW 3 horse trailer, I recommend the etrailer 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box # HS381-9000 along with ring terminals like # 44-5310A for easy connection. For your light wiring, I recommend using the 16-Gauge Bonded 3 Wire - per foot # 16-3B-1 on each side for your ground, running light, and turn/stop functions. For your trailer brakes I recommend the # 10-2-1. You will want butt connectors like # 05731-5 and # 05732-2.

For your breakaway system, I recommend the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger - Side Load # 20099 that will give you everything you need for a system compatible with your trailer.

I've attached some articles to assist with your wiring and with installing your breakaway kit.
