Locating In-Bed 7-Pin

OK here ya go!!! Factory location.

Yup! Best location by far. I've had plugs ahead of the hitch on previous trucks and it's a PITA compared to this location.

Now that said, you must be sure that if you carry anything in the bed behind the hitch that it doesn't interfere with your cord in this location. I carry propane tanks and water jugs, but ensure that the propane tanks are in milk crates and bungeed in the back corners of the bed which prevents anything from being able to move and contacting the trailer plug. In any case, I'm sure you'll figure it out!

Please keep us posted as to how you make out.

FYI For my cabover I installed it in FRONT of the wheel well and use it there for my fifth wheel. So if you think you might end up in a cabover camper in the future that might be the place to put it.

I love pictures, they can say so much!!! Happy to help.

My truck came from the factory with a wiring harness tucked up between the cab and box. I put a 6 pin in ahead of the wheelwell when I had a truck camper when I bought the 5th wheel I added a 7 pin next to it

Mines home made and my truck is old but I chose driver's side and just infront of the fender well about half way up.

Nice! Thanks for that!

My first fifth-wheel, the dealer installed the 7-pin plug on the driver's side, on the fender well. It worked great for me.

This is very helpful, thanks guys!

I've had it on the driver's side just behind the cab and now driver's side just inside the tailgate. I like this location so much better.
