Default Aux reverse lights

As it is now starting to get darker earlier, I decided to add some reverse lights to help guide the trailer back into my storage spot. Can help backing into campsites after dark if appropriate.

Installed flood lights under trailer so I can see the entire edge and wheels.

Hope this helps others.

LED lights were cheap on amazon

Dude thems is AWESOME! I’m stealing this idea…

I’ve been plotting how to add reverse lights to the back of the camper since TM doesn’t include them anymore. I have an idea, and I’m gonna incorporate this into it.

Thanks. I considered wiring them into the reverse circuit, but it was easier and offered more flexibility to just have a toggle switch on the trailer. I didn't take an up close picture, but I used angle iron bolted to the torsion bar vertical metal guide plate on the corner, then mounted the light on the angle iron. That way the light was mounted horizontally and the wide beam pattern was in the correct orientation. I didn't trust sheet metal screws in the floor to hold it.
