i need to re-wire my trailer thats about 4yrs old. wiring is all pinched on the frame rails and shorts and grnds, i will be installing conduit and running my wire w/in it this time. i'm having some trouble finding wiring locally all the parts stores, haven't tried napa yet but will today ,they all carry a kit w/ lights included, i just need some wire for the lights and brakes and maybe a new box for my battery for the breakaway. anyone know of a good online source? thanks jim

Local TSC or even a RV dealer. There you can buy it on the roll.

Truck shops will probably have everything you need. At least the one in our locality does.:D

I gave up on "kits" from the likes of Canadian Tire and Princess Auto. The plastic ones seem fragile, especially when very cold, least bump will break them. I bought a magnetic set and only install when ready to use.

I don't use the made up wire bundles. I used stranded THHN/THWN insulated wire in the appropriate size and colors. You can get it at any electrical distributor.
