Soon to be fifth wheel hauler
We have a fifth wheel on order and I need advice on where to put the trailer electrical plug. I see that the plug kit says between cab and rear axle on inside wall of bed. Do any use the stock plug on...

I got one of these and installed it myself. My hitch guy suggested to put it on the drivers side about 1 foot in from the tailgate, which I did and find it handy. One thing I did discover - unplug the umbilical before unhitching! Otherwise it blows fuses...

That sounds like a wiring issue!!
Do you have a good ground through the umbilical?? It should make no difference to your electrical if the trailer is hitch of unhitched.
Not sure, but I think he referring "unhitching" to pulling away without unplugging the umbilical.
I think if that was the case the issue would be more than a "Short and Blown Fuses" likely destroy the bed plug and damage the umbilical cable.
