Question:
I am rewiring my utility trailer from a 6 plug to a 7 way RV slot....my question is...on the electric trailer brakes...can I run a blue wire down both sides of the trailer or do I have to run one and then cross over the axles like in your diagram?

You can run an individual wire for each brake axle on your trailer. You'd want to use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) and you'd be set.
