So, I was given a battery the other day which was Marshy's way of telling me that I had to do something about my trailer lighting situation.
I have to say I've been pretty jealous of his system ever since he put it in.

The lights that came with my trailer to begin with were abysmal, at best...




They also only came on when the reverse circuit from the car was engaged...




Inspired to do better, I started by fixing a solar panel charging kit to the roof...





Found a box for the battery...




Put some brackets, a DPDT toggle switch and a cable gland on it...






I ran the trickle charger from the solar panel back to the battery and ran another cable from the trailer plug input. This way the lights can either run on battery or car power, whilst the solar panel charges the battery.




I swapped the side, incandescent globes out for LED blocks




Lastly, I installed 3 super bright LED strips for the main lighting, with one firing backwarsdish, for the shelving.




It's pretty much daylight in there now. Thanks for the prod, Marshy!!
