How to Wire Up a Trailer so that a Second Trailer Could be Towed Behind it
Question:
I will be towing my boat behind my camper which is legal in Missouri. What will I need to be able to use the lights on both trailers, and do you have a diagram for that and the necessary products. Thank you for your help.

The correct part you would need would be the 4-Pole Wiring Harness part # 118603. You would need to use quick splices like part # SWC501746-1 to connect the wires of this harness to the correct wires of your travel trailer taillight wiring.
The brown wires will run to the running light circuit, the green to the right stop/turn, the yellow to left stop/turn and the white to the ground circuit of the trailer.
This will give you all of the taillight signals on a 4-way that you would need for your small utility trailer to plug into and function properly. Hopefully your trailer has LED lights on it because the additional load on the circuits might be too much for your tow vehicle and could pop fuses.
I attached a link to all the LED trailer lights we offer.
