Best routing for heavy gauge wire to bring 70 amps to the hitch

Hey all,

I have a 70 amp 12v DC-DC charger on order for my camper. It is roughly 50 feet from the battery post to where I need to put the charger, so the heavier gauge wire I run the less voltage drop I'll get. I have the upgraded alternator and pulling 70 amps should be ok as far as I have read.

Anyway, I'm looking to run the wire to about the hitch, where I plan to use Anderson connectors to plug into the lines from the camper.

Is there an optimal routing? Considerations? Probably don't strap it to the exhaust system is what I have so far.
 
The driveshaft is also not a good spot to attach it to :laugh: . I've watched a ton of videos from "Just rolled in" and people have attached wiring to the exhaust and driveshaft, as well as other moving parts.

Only thing I can suggest is that the wire be protected by wire loom to avoid any rub through and winding up on Just rolled in.
