For all my boat, utility and RV trailers, I always remove their factory sequential "inside axle tube" wiring and replace with safer / much better STAR design using thicker 10 gauge wiring. IMO, this should be minimum factory build on all trailers. Perhaps one day it will be. Is there a difference? YES. If doing axle re-position or other suspension maintenance, I'd convert to STAR design at same time. It's well worth it..
Factory default (before): - click here -
After:
Did the same thing on my 30' fifthwheel toyhauler. Night and day difference in braking ability after it was done. Before mod - could barely skid tires on gravel with brake controller on high boost and high gain. After mod - no need for high boost or gain settings plus brakes work very well. The icing on the cake was the MaxBrake controller.
