not with a trailer queen
and you can put a pvc tube under the car where the cables are safe
you better not do it with a daily driven car

I do check cars in Holland if they are safe at the road. APK is the name. It's the same as TUV in Germany. Cabels under the car is no problem only when they mount them well. The SM 1-2 car from Tim Verhey had cabels under the car. That one i have made it road legal in the Netherlands. In the inside cabels Shortcutted even fast as outside. But you have to make it GOOD.

yes, you can run them under your vehicle. Just be safe with installation and consider all the variables. ( IE: pulling up onto a trailer, getting hung on a drive way or road construction )

I have mine run under my car and i drive it daily. You just have to install them securely. I have bracketing that i made to hold my wire.

I have np with wire under the car. I have some of my wire under my car too. I have had this for 05-06 WF and I did a few WR in between and many judges saw it. Plus there is no way in the book that says you may not. Just make it safe.

My first attempt on my last car was done with zip ties and it ended up falling and ruined the wire. I also don't drive with the power wire attached to the battery as a back up. And I have it set up so I can take it off for winter. It just unbolts and all wire comes off intact to hangers. It's a lot of work but worth the results. Hope this helps.
