what all were you wanting wired in? if lights only very easy just need to run from trailer lights to plug,if wanting a charge wire and elec brakes will have to run from up front at junction box in trailer to back end of trailer

This!
But kinda depends on the trailer and where/how it's lights are positioned as to difficulty level.

U need a brake controller capable of 6-8 axles if ur running 2 trailers with brakes

 

[tex78]

nope just lights,

More info would help us help u out

Do u just need quad trailer lights, then only need 4 wires, flat 4 plug in with convertor to 7 that will plug in or just wire in a 7 pole end with only 4 wires

U will also have to find the Junction block at the front of the trailer to tie in to

Can be as cheap as u want ( hillbilly style) or expensive ( nice neat clean job)

same as title thanks

Easy job. Be a good chance to clean up the wiring on the holiday trailer while you're in there. Some of the wiring on those are horrible

Merrits if your lucky! No wonder you have issues after the first summer. And don't even get me started on the welding on those!

Sorry I let the 5th wheel go I'm over length anyhow when I pull the boat behind gonna try and find a 24rks instead of a 26.5 the guy at th dealer said it was 30 feet from pin to bumper and my truck is 19ft and the boat with trailer is 22 so gonna try to find something that is legal, the rig I run now is 62ft but want something with more room and a slide

I'm a little confused. So did you own said trailer ? Or looking at buying. Was the length of said setup 62' or that's what your aiming for with the smaller one. ?
Because the legal length 65' 6"

If you use a single controller for dissimilar axles and weights you will likely have to set the controller to the axle with best breaks x lightest load. I suppose it will work but unless you have dual out put settings you will not be able to optimize your trailer braking. That is unless you fluke out and both sets of axes happen to require the same output. Is there a control with dual output adjustment??

U need a brake controller capable of 6

Hey there no my current rig is 62ft was very close to buying a newer 5th wheel new to me anyhow and it didn't have the wiring or hitch but I was going to take my bolt on hitch off my current one but it was the wiring I was trying to work out costs for it to see how much to wire it, but I am over lenght with the new one truck is 19ft boat and trailer is 20ft, and the newer 5th wheel was called a 26.5 but the dealer said its more like 28-30ft so gotta look for something different,
