Is 1 Foot Enough Slack to Have in 4-Way Harness for Corners

Question:
Hello, is wiring a 4 pin trailer wire out along where the ball hitch is about 1 foot enough to avoid pinching at a sharp angle?

Hey Ruben, it sounds like you are asking if having a foot of slack in the 4-way harness would be enough to prevent it from binding up around corners? If so, yeah that would be adequate. Did the old 4-way get ripped off.

No, I am rewiring the trailer and ended up at the side of the ball due to the thicker wire being used. I was concerned that it might get crimped or stretched too far on a sharp turn backing up. Thx for your help.
