1995 Gooseneck Sundowner Rewiring Components
Question:
Just purchased a 1995 rancher gooseneck sundowner three horse trailer. Going to be towing it with a Ford f150. Would like to rewire the trailer because of its age. Not sure what I would need, any help would be appreciated.

A junction box like the part # 277-000141 is the place to start when rewiring a trailer. Basically you'd need to mount it on the frame of the trailer in a location that allows the 7-way enough length to reach the front of the trailer.
For wiring we have 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which you'd run for the ground, the 12 volt accessory, and the brake output. To run the wires for the lighting functions you could use the part # 16-4B-1 which we also sell by the foot. This a jacketed set of 4 wires you could split off as needed and ran to each light assemblies. Or for 16 gauge wire sold individually by the foot we have the # 16-1-1.
