Question:

Expert Reply:
My recommendation for your application is to add a junction box like # 3375601101 which will allow you to connect another wire without "splicing in" on the trailer side and run wiring like # DW03240-1 for a longer run or # 16-4B-1 to the rear of your trailer and then use # HM48190.
