Coiled Wiring Connector
I am considering changing the seven pin cable on my trailer to a coiled one from etrailer. I had a coiled setup on my toad when I had a motorhome, and it worked well, but not sure if a coiled setup i...

I am looking to change since I damaged the current one this past weekend. It looks like I pinched the wires somehow, but I'm not sure where. I think it was when I was getting gas. I came off the freeway for a gas stop and pulled into a Shell station with the worlds largest speed bump coming off the road; there was a huge hump from the road into the station, not sure of the purpose. I went super slow, and nothing dragged, but when I got to my destination and was un-hooking I noticed a pinch in the wire bundle. Also, it looks like the sway control lightly contacted the ball mount, but no damage there. Should of hit the hump at more of an angle maybe. The wire bundle was routed like it has always been, and I can't tell where it could have been pinched, so I'm guessing it was the hump that did it somehow.
Everything still worked, so I didn't mess with it till I got home. At home, I tested everything while stressing the wires at the pinched point and everything still worked, and I split the outer sheath and all the individual wires are fine, but were obviously pinched and possibly wire strands are broken in the insulation. Since they are damaged, I'm going to change the pigtail anyway, so I'm thinking of going with the coiled setup.
