First thing you'll want is a 7-way/junction box like part # 277-000141 which you'll mount near the front of the trailer. This covers the 7-way that runs to the vehicle and gives a place to run all of the wires for the rest of the trailer wiring. For 10 gauge wire to use for the brake output circuit and 12 volt accessory you'd want the part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. And then for the lighting functions you'd want the # DW04923-1 which is also sold by the foot.
