Default External wire loom positions

Anyone have a picture showing how the wire looms track from under the trailer and up the struts to where they enter the shells?

Half of the zip ties holding the wiring in place were either missing or the little plastic saddles were broken. And the wiring was more or less free-wheeling! These pretty much seemed to vanish into the ether on our 8,000 km trip last summer.

I’ve got new saddles and lots of zip ties and I’ve started tying everything back into place, but it would be nice to know I’m zipping them into the right spots and won’t cause unnecessary tension or create an abrasive spot that will end up slicing my wiring in travel, or during set-up and tear-down.

My biggest point of concern is at the bottom where it seems to need to lie between the bolts holding the torsion bars and then loops under the latches.
Note that the one image where it seems to be tight against the latch, there is no tension there. It’s just lying loose against the metal and won’t really do anything else.

Suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks

That is EXACTLY what I needed!!! Thank you Dick.
I see you have that nice plastic corrugated loom on yours. I've got the nylon weave which is breaking down everywhere - especially in the areas that it needs protection from abrasion the most! I think after this trip in June, I will pick up some split loom and replace all of the existing stuff I have. Give me a chance to examine the wiring too for any damage - there are a couple of places that are "reinforced" (covered!) with electricians tape. I wouldn't be surprised if I found a few spots that could use some repair.
