In the next 2 weeks, I will be rewiring my entire trailer. I thought this would be a good thread for people to see what it takes to re-do the wiring on a trailer.
The Patient:
1997 16' car hauler, wood deck, brakes on one axle, lighting just behind the fenders, current 6 wire round plug
The Symptoms:
Damaged light housings, and cheap fixtures that cause bulbs to sometimes work and sometimes not. Questionable ground, and non working brakes due to wiring issue. Outdated 6 prong round plug (currently using an adapter to mate it to a 7 prong).
The Surgery:
Completely re-wire a trailer with all new wiring, new tail/stop/turn lighting, new 7 prong plug, and rewiring brakes. Tail light units will be replaced with sealed LED assembles, current 6 wire round plug will be replaced with new wire front to back and the modernly used 7 wire RV style plug.
Any tips, hints, or suggestions - feel free to share. I will be getting pics and getting started in the next few days, in anticipation of a trip to Tellico in just under 2 weeks time.
