I would like to know where anyone found the taillight wires on their Jayco Fifth wheel. I have a 2013 321 RLTS and I cannot find the wires to tap into.

You don't back that up. You drop the tail, back in the 5er, and then park the other.

What is the total length on many of these double tow rigs that are shown in the photos?
Just by taking the size of the tow vehicle and estimating that to be about 18 feet, it appears some of these combinations are 75-80 feet long.

Mine is @ 70' 20/30/20 backing up it, is not impossible.... easier with a longer wheel base on the tag.

I'm just shocked you can tow a 5th wheel with the Tundra crew max. Whats the weight on your camper? Any problems hitting the truck on turns?

Thanks for the reply, I did look under the bed but it is a glide out bed, nothing there but a safe.

Only a few select 'cool' cats can not only tow a 5th Wheel with a Tundra but also double tow with a Tundra.

Silverado8, I had a difficult time with my designer and had to go to the pin box and wire back . I went to a seven pin to a four pin flat at the back of the trailer . Hear are a couple of things I found that may help , Click image for larger version

Thanks for your reply; I had already tried the J-box under the pin box idea, but the junction box is not mounted under the pin box (like on other trailers) but it is mounted up under the fiberglass under cover for the overshot. So next I decided to just cut into the 7 way cable casing and splice into the appropriate four wires and run under the trailer to the back, but the cross boards for securing the fiberglass under cover do not allow even a stainless 1/8" wire to pass between them. I finally gave up and paid the dealer to wire it, and they went in behind the taillight assembly's tapped in and dropped the wires down the inside of the back wall and come out through holes they made through the floor between the inner and outer wall. They did a pretty clean job and after $175.00 my headache is over.
