No question too stupid
Trailer lights
I have adapted a camping trailer to use behind the demountable but as the demountable uses the trailer electrics there is no where to plug the trailer in unless I disconect the demountable
If you have working trailer lights do the vehicle lights need to work?
The only other option is to fit an additional socket?
Thoughts please

Re: Trailer lights
Well I would have said just use the trailer lights myself unless its one of those tiny halfords things in which case leave the trailer lights off
Re: Trailer lights
It's a legal requirement that the trailer lights work but can't find anything about vehicle lights.
It's only a small trailer and it won't get towed very often but fitting a second socket would be a pain.
I could make up a double extension lead I suppose

Fiona'll be along directly with a legal ruling

Me and Grant meanwhile will need the usual photographic evidence
Re: Trailer lights
It has to be both lit I'm afraid.
Make up, or get made up a 7 pin doubler. Ie 1 x male Conn with 2 x female Conn. Not enough amps to trouble the system with an extra lighting board.

Re: Trailer lights
Just an piece of aluminium tube inserted into the draw bar to extend it by 600mm for the overhang of the camper.
Nothing special

Well it BH tomorrow so now you have a task, robo-crop will take care of the lawn so you've gotten out of that job
Re: Trailer lights
It was great coming home after 2 weeks away to a short lawn and no grass to cut.
Oh well I'll get the bits tomorrow to sort it.
Current draw should be ok as the camper lights are LED

Re: Trailer lights
I've added an extra trailer connector to the truck so I can run both camper and trailer at the same time.
