I am SO looking forward to getting my 5ver and TV. Thanks to all who have answered my previous questions. I have one more question about setting up my TV. Where does the umbilical connect to the TV? Does it run down to the class V reciever connector or do you ususlly run a paralleled connection into the bed of the truck when the hitch is installed? Thanks again for your help. 2010 Ford F250HD V10 2010 Jayco 30.5RLS M GO BLUE • View posts Southgate, MI Senior Member Joined: 01/29/2001 View Profile Online Posted: 11/05/09 12:54pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Depends where you have a 7-pin plug installed and where you choose to plug into...some opt to just plug into the hitch plug but most opt to install a 7-pin plug in the bed also so the entire cord stays in the bed (as opposed to hanging over the tailgate down to the hitch plug) ERIC & BEV 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500 dually CC/LB Duramax/Allison 2008 Jayco Designer 35RLTS fith wheel Onan 5500W Marquis Gold gas generator KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR OUR SPRING 2010 RALLY! tvman44 • View posts Southwest Louisiana Senior Member Joined: 09/25/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/05/09 12:54pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Most parallel a connector in the bed to keep the entire cord in the bed.

I like the idea of mounting a paralleled connector in the bed. Do it right the first time. Thanks again.

Like stated earlier, you don't have to route it over the tailgate.

This location keep ya from having to crawl under the overhang to plug in and the cord won't get hung up on the slider. cwit • View posts new york Senior Member Joined: 07/20/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/06/09 02:39pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I was going to put one in the bed but just couldn't drill that big hole in the side of my truck box.
