Wiring Needed to Tow Trailer Behind Trailer with Vehicle that has Second 4-Way Connector

Question

Question:

I plan to install a hitch and wiring to tow a 10foot utility trailer behind my 41foot 5th wheel. I would like to keep both trailers lights independently operating. Is it possible to wire a ~50foot 4 pole wire extension from the utility trailer into my truck in addition to keeping my 5th wheel pluged in? I have two separate hookups installed that could accommodate both plug ins, Im just unsure if this would work as I intend. Also, do you have products available of that size? I have not seen any on you website. Thanks,

What you would need to make the adapter you want is 4-way jacketed wire sold by foot part # DW04923-1 (you'd need a quantity of 50) and then a 4-way on either side of that like what the part # 48195 offers and you'd be set.

This will allow you to use the second 4-way trailer wiring connector you have at the rear of your vehicle.
