Trailer Lighting

[trekkersmith1]

Scott,
I would take a good close look at which wires are going into the
connector plugs (male and female) to see that you are making the
correct feeds on everything. You may be running a hot power supply
from the bus to the ground (frame) of the trailer, causing the high
drain.
