Default Electric Jack installed

Just installed a Barker electric jack, very easy to do 3 bolts, and making sure to sand down to bare metal for a good ground.

Seeing that it is a 3326 with the battery at the back I need to get additional 10ga wire to finish. Any ideas on how to run it other than using wire ties all down along the frame, and what I should use for connectors for the splice and at the battery connection?

Thanks in advance!
Jimmy

Jimmy -

Not exactly an answer to your question, but as long as you are running a new power wire (with its own fuse at the battery!), you would do well to run a companion ground wire in addition to relying on the frame ground. This is a good thing to do in all cases, and a necessary thing if you have a swing tongue.

Wire ties with wire tie anchors. You can pick up the little square , kind of flat piramid shaped, adhesive backed anchors at a good hardware store. Best connection is soldered with shrink wrap tubing over top.
