    I decided to do California hook up
    Can you suggest best way to do it :
    Should i just use T-coupler on tractor valve and run another 2 air lines to the back of the frame ?! Electric box ?!
    I guess i need original location with air lines as well in case i switch trailer other day

    Run a T off your airlines and put shutoffs on your gladhands. Do the same on your trailer. Having the shut off valves at the gladhands just makes it simple instead of having to flip a valve underneath somewhere.

    For the electrical you can make a simple junction box to split and go to the deck plate up too and out to the back.

    And I thought a California hook up was going to be a completely different subject...

    I would steer clear of a California hook up. They look good and all out there but I'm afraid of those west coast diseases. Maybe it's the simple Southern boy in me. I'll stick to the good old Southern lot lizards. The devil you know.......
