Recommended 7-Way Connection in Bed of Truck for In-Bed Camper
Question:
I have a pick-up camper, and boat trailer that both use 7-way plugs. Id rather not have a Y connector on the back of my truck. Do you have a kit to split wiring under truck, so I can have a 7-way plug in the box near the front on the drivers side, and still have the trailer plugged in on the bumper 7-way plug? My truck is a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado Crew cab, 6.5 foot box

I have just what you are looking for to give you the second 7-way in the bed of your truck. I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # 41157. This will have a quick connection into your factory 7-way and give you the length of wire needed to run to the front of your truck box without issue. I've attached a video to assist.
I recommend using some dielectric grease # 11755 on your connections to keep moisture and debris out and keep your system functioning as intended.
