Be careful of using heat shrink or any wire covers over the wiring as it comes from the bottom of the camper to the axle. You don't want the wire to be flexed at one single point along this length as this will eventually cause the wire to break inside the insulation. Leave a coil of extra length to provide a larger area of flex. Most home appliances like hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, mixers and such will stop working because the wire breaks inside the insulation usually right at the end where it goes into the male plug. Same thing with any wire that moves a lot. These axles bounce continuously and the wire must be able to flex
