Hi all,
I have a 1991 B250 Roadtrek conversion and I am having a hard time figuring out where to intercept the rear wiring for a trailer hitch. Is there a place the wires all come to the back together that is accessible?
I pulled the tail lights out and was able to figure out the colours quite easily but there aren't any holes in there that go out the bottom of the van and it also appears that the left side wiring goes over the top of the back door.
My preference would be to pick up the wiring without having to drill holes in the body of the van!
Any help would be appreciated, this van is a bit complicated with a dropped centre floor and lots of tanks so I don't know where to start looking.
Cheers, Steve

 

That's not going to happen. Like you said, all the wiring runs along the roof. Drill the hole and use a rubber grommet just like they do at the factory.

Years ago when wirring a 89 Ram Van I do recall going in the interior too access the taillight wiring but not drilling through the floor. Where does the power for the licence plate light feed from?

 

Just got back from a lazy 1000 mile trip with 3 nights in the van.

The license plate light had a single connector going to it that was in a decent location but I guess the rest do come from the ceiling. I drilled a hole through the floor in each corner (about 6" forward actually) to bypass the enclosed portions of the corners. The holes were sealed with silicone and all is well.

I've also taken the bumper off to aid in installing the hitch when it arrives as I will need to slide it straight in. 8 bolts and none broke...sometimes you wish they would.
