Adding 7 pin connector to bed

Adding 7 pin connector to bed
Does anyone make a "T" that I could put inline and then run back up to the bed to add a 7 pin in the bed and keep the one on the bumper also?

If someone does I couldn't find it. I was going to do the same thing but ended up installing a new 7 pin outlet on the inside of the bed. I then just made an extension cord that goes from the factory 7pin to the back of the new 7 pin I put in the bed. This little extension cord snakes under the truck and out of the way. When ever I need it I can just pull it down from it's little hiding place behind the bumper and plug it into the factory 7 pin. Does this make any sense? I can snap a few pics if it don't.

The outfit that installed my 5th wheel hitch, offered to install it for a $100 more. Handy as a pocket in a shirt. My uncle has a 1 ton dmax and said it's factory now. Some one should call DC, that or I should look in the box of an 07 and then call DC.

Think I may have found one on the internet. My only question is that they are saying '00 to '06 is the same harness. Just not sure if the wiring is the same throughout all these years? Anyone know? Here is the link to the item for anyone interested.

The '07 harness is different, and not in a good way... basically much harder now to run extra lighting loads on the trailer.
I just spliced a 7-pin harness into the stock bumper harness and ran it to a flush-mount floor socket next to the turnover ball. (everything under-bed, of course)

At the end of my statement, I added a link to the website www.etrailer.com. Or you could just type in www.etrailer.com into your browser.

Fetus has it right. And e-trailer are very decent people to work with. I checked into that harness a while back, a few people over on the RV Forum have got the harness. It's nice to not have to hack into your wire loom and potentially create a future issue.
