Cable management is key

A significant issue for many trailer owners is damaged trailer cables, usually from  unwanted slack or even from pets who enjoy chomping down on  your cable. A broken cable can be a massive hassle, especially when you’re out and about in the bush. If your cable isn’t working, your taillights aren’t working – which can not only lead to a hefty fine, but also  makes you a danger to your fellow drivers on the road. Fortunately a local entrepreneur came up with Trailer Wurm, a patented all-weather high-tensile, stainless steel spring designed to protect the electrical cable of any trailer, caravan or boat trailer. Available in lengths of 400mm and 600mm (and with an option, specially designed to fit the Brad Harrison Connector mostly used on off-road trailers and caravans), this is a genius solution to an age-old frustration.
