• What Might Cause Surge Trailer Brakes to Apply When Driving
  Hey Dean, that is a really odd problem to have when towing forward. It sounds like somehow your brake system is getting pressurized which is causing them to at least partially apply the trailer brakes. When towing forward I can't really determine what might cause this but maybe on a long shot is the trailer really nose down and it's pushing the actuator forward and applying the brakes slightly? You should be able to see the inner member of the actuator slide in as you lower it onto the...

• Reverse Light & Wiring For Boat Trailer
  So in order to add a reverse light to your boat trailer, all you need to do is connect the wiring from your junction box or 7-way directly to the reverse light's wires. For reverse lights, if you don't already have wiring at the junction box or your 7-way, what you can do is add 14 Gauge Primary Wire - Blue - per Foot # DW02414-1. Then you will simply run that wire to the reverse lights, which you can connect with butt connectors. The exact parts you will need to do this are the following: -...

• Parts Needed to Add Back Up Lights & 7-Way Connector on Boat Trailer
  We can get you set up to add back up lights and a 7-way to your boat trailer, and I'll go over what you'll need. Let's start with the back up lights, and for your boat trailer you'll want submersible lights like you said, the GloLight LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer - Submersible # BUL111CFPG. This will use a 2-wire (power and ground) pigtail, either the Right Angle 2-Wire Pigtail # A49PB or 2-Wire Pigtail # A45CB. Then for added wire I recommend 16 Gauge # 16-1-1, which is sold...

• Brighter Trailer Tail Lights to Replace Bargman 92 Series Tail Lights
  There are brighter lights available for your current Bargman 92 Series lights, but none that have a reverse light function. So to replace your current lights with brighter LEDs you will need the LED Trailer Tail Light - Driver's Side # 328-003-81LM1 and LED Trailer Tail Light - Passenger Side # 328-003-81M1. That's the closest available for your mounting width, and I have added a link to a video install for you to check out. Additionally, you could just add separate reverse lights if...

• Adding Reverse Lights And Junction Box To a Trailer Without Existing Reverse Lights And Wiring
  You are correct, that is exactly how you would install that setup. To add reverse lights to your trailer from a 4 pole to a 7 pole on your 2017 Ram 1500 you are going to need a junction box with a 7 pole connector. I recommend is the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector Item # HS381-9000. What makes this kit nice is the 7 pole plug comes with the junction box. You would just need to add your new reverse lights and wiring from the lights to the junction...

• How Does Trailer Wiring Normally Wire a Reverse Light
  The trailer wiring would have to be either a 5-way or 7-way as those are common styles that have the reverse light circuit available. It would just be a matter of running that circuit from the trailer wiring connector to the power wire of the light like the part # BUL111CFPG and then grounding the other wire.

• Can Trailer Backup Lights Run On Reverse Lockout Circuit
  It shouldn't be a problem to run backup lights on the same circuit as the reverse lockout, especially LED lights. You can use # 10-1-1 to run your additional wire. For lights, I recommend the GloLight LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL111CFPG. These are sonically sealed and completely submersible. You will also need the # A45CB for installation.

• Is There a Light Comparable to the GloLight LED Backup Light Without the Black Bezel
  I have a solution for you, but the GloLight LED Backup Light # BUL111CFPG does not have a comparable light that has a chrome bezel. I would instead recommend looking at either the Fusion LED Trailer Tail Light # STL211RCB and the chrome bezel # A211CB1 which can be combined for the look you're seeking.

• Can Loading Light Connect to Reverse Light Circuit on Cargo Trailer
  You could definitely connect your light to the reverse light circuit on the 7-way. All you need to do is run some wire like # DW02412-1 back to the light and splice it in on the light side of the switch. I don't know of any specific lighting regulations that wouldn't allow this but it is hard to keep track of everything. It is always a good idea to check with MO Highway Patrol. For a nice bright light I recommend the GloLight LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL111CFPG. The only...

• Hitch Extensions and Utility Lights
  While we do not sell hitch extenders for 2-1/2" receivers, we may have a solution for you. Since most hitch extenders will reduce your towing capacity (usually by 50%), a better alternative is to use a longer ball mount for getting the clearance you need for your tailgate. I've linked to a list of our 2" ball mounts since they have more range than 2-1/2" ball mounts. To use one of these with your 2-1/2" receiver, simply use the B&W Hitch Adapter, part # BWRHXA2182, which I've linked to...
