Picked this up yesterday.





'05 Wells Cargo 12 foot X 7 foot V-Nose, ramp rear door with Pingle removable chocks set up for 2 bikes.

Tows like it's not even there.

Gonna be haulin' lots o stuff (appliances, wood flooring and such) down to the new hacienda in a month or so.

NOW I GET TO USE MY PULL OUT TOW MIRRORS........

Gee, that oughta have some tongue weight.

Do you have room to store it?

When I dropped it on the ball.....it barely changed the rear bumper height.



It won't fit under my carport so it won't go in the back near the garage, but I can leave it over at my Mom's house (until her estate is settled) about 30 minutes away.

Once the house is finished I'll have 50+ acres to figure out where to stash it.

Just make sure you don't park it where they fill the fuel tanks at the station.

It THAT what the trap door and the high-speed 12v fluid pump is for?........

Wonder how much trouble a person a guy would get in if he did it as a gag? You know leave the trailer empty, park it over a cover, then go inside for a period of time.

COOL!...... at least it's bigger than the camper you pulled down to Claremont. Now you can bring the red one so you don't have to sleep sitting up!

That's just cold!!! Hind sight got me a while back. When I bought my open deck for the 4wheeler I wish I would have bought enclosed. Ed, that's just the right size.

Ed's feet were hanging out the other side of that scale model camper he had.
I was not allowed in it as the suspension would collapse.

We had a Wells when I was a kid-- great trailers.

06ram2500 what mirrors are those?

DD4X4 said it best...

"That camper was SO small............















I had to go outside to change my mind."



PS:.
Where is the harness end of the blue brake controler wire I need to hook up to the wire running back to thwe 7-way?

I'm using the Prodigy Dodge harness that hooks to the multi-plug under the dash near the parking brake mechanism and the other end into the Prodigy.

I have the blue wire to the 7-way....but I can't figure out where the other blue wire comes out of the stock harness..........

Shovelhead

I think I found the other end of the blue wire.........

Driver's side..........under the truck.....laying on my back......behind the left front plastic wheelwell splash guard.....are two multi-plug connectors.

One multi-plug has a light blue wire of the correct gauge....and when I pulled the connector apart.....it has no corresponding connector or wire in the "out-path" side.

If I was a Chrysler engineer....that exactly where I'd have put it.............................NOT.

It's getting dark....and coooooold.....I'll hit it with a multimeter tomorrow to confirm.

Edit to add:......YUP that was the correct wire.

Stamey

That implies to me that your truck did not come with the tow package. Mine did, and the wire was all the way into the dash, in the connector.
Weird though, since another 2 feet of wire would have completed the circuit in your truck. If they were trying to save money why would they run the wire from the back to the front, and have the connector there, but not finish it by taking it inside the truck.
If you need anything I can look under my 99. Let me know.
