Where does the factory mount the in bed fifth wheel electrical plug on a 2005 Chevy 3500 long bed? I have been told not to it in the rear as you have to get under the fifth wheel over hang to hook it up and it is not safe. I have short legs and I can just barely reach over the side of my pickup bed and putting it in the rear by the tail gate is a good spot for me to reach but I don't want to get hurt in case the hitch pin was to failed (I know it is a long short but if it weren't for bad luck I would have any luck). If it mounts ahead of the wheel well on the left side, how does the wire run up to it, on the inside of the dually fender or is there another way up?
are you getting a new trailer or is this a older one you have. if this is a new one have the dealer put a longer cord on it, you should have the factory plug on the back right.
it is a new one but I don't want to have the cord go over my tailgate as it would rub on the paint so I am building a plate so I can mount it on the front stake pocket and also hook in the brake safety cable.
Trailer plugs.... On my 03 dually it was tucked up inside the fender (coiled) on the driver side rear fender. Plenty long, I am not sure it would make it all the way to the tailgage or not. I mounted mine at the top of the wheel well toward the front. Good luck on your venture.... Rob
