Yes,,this is a good read Boog ..covers every thing I have either heard or learned myself about trailer hook ups ..

I just learned recently why there is the 3 red lights at the top of my travel trailer at the rear .I was going to just delete the one light in the middle and make it my camera spot to use along with the hot and ground wire already there..

Well.. I was told that the 3 lights signify that this trailer is 8 foot wide to any one coming up behind me ..it is a law for any truck or trailer 8 foot wide to have all these 3 red lights on the rear

I did use the power form the center red light for my camera ,,but I installed the camera on top of my travel trailer therefore both can work off the same power ..
