Is there any easy way to pickup the Mattress and box springs? Im sure I could put the box springs IN the Durango, but unsure of the best way to strap it to the top. Should I just get a trailer?

 

I would definitely get a trailer. I did the same when I got my king. The mattress is just way too wide even if you strapped it on top.

I rented a 5x8 enclosed U-haul trailer for around $29 for just a local day's use.

 

Ok. If I get a trailer from U-haul I have to hookup my wire kit. anyone have the instructions and where to find the correct wires to tap into for a std. trailer wire kit for an '03 Durango?

 

If you've got the wiring schematics available I can tell you what to tap into.

 

On my Durango, the previous owner tore off the OEM tow power socket so it is missing. Dealer wanted like $150.xx bucks for the replacement socket. So I went to U-Haul and when I rented the trailer, I paid them to install a universal power connection kit. The kit ran around $25, and they only charged me $25 to install it. If you already have the wire kit, U-haul don't charge much to hook it up for you.

 

OK, heres what I got.... Sorry for the crappy pics!


On the left side..... Top to Bottom.

GREEN = Right Turn
RED = Stop
YELLOW = Left Turn
BROWN = Tail
WHITE = Ground

 

Your owners manual has a wiring diagram. Check under towing.

 

Thats all good, but WHERE is the best place to tap into on the back of the vehicle? I dont have any factory wiring for towing.

 

GREEN = Right Turn = Tan
RED = Stop = White with tan tracer
YELLOW = Left Turn = Light green
BROWN = Tail = Black with yellow tracer
WHITE = Ground = Any solid ground, find a wire/group of wires (usually solid black that are bolted to the chassis)

As far as the best place to tap into all of this I'm not too sure. I would just follow some wiring from your taillights to find where the loom comes together so it can all be tapped into together. Otherwise you could tap into this stuff directly from the tailights which would loom messy.

EDIT: I read my diagram too hastily here's a revision.

 

I can tap these to the same wire?
