I Finally Got all the Lights hooked up...after 2 flawed sets of LED Light Bars from Amazon for the verticle stop/turn/tail lights. I ordered a set on Ebay and got a good set. I plugged them in for several hours 3 days in a row to make sure before installing them. Got the interior lights wired in as well. The only items left are a license plate holder above the lower left door hinge and drip cap above the doors.   |

Understand I'm asking this as a long time though now retired Truck Driver. Aren't three-at least-red lights across the top required? Or five? Three centrally and one at the top right and left corners facing rear? Also more importantly-cursed Good lookin trailer ya gotz there!  RIDE SAFE. |

I like it.  I also like you have not added any signs or logos or pictures. My OPSEC mentality says never advertise what you have or are carrying. It's nobody's business but your own. No need to draw any extra attention to the trailer itself either. I'm not a thief, but I often wonder what folks are hauling around (just curiosity). Baby on Board, or Mother-in-Law Suite would be funny, but there's always someone who would be offended or put off by that too. Mine would probably have a concealed shotgun rack on the inside (I'd probably be sleeping back there, at some point). But we live in different worlds. |

I owned a 6X12 trailer a while back with this exact same verticle LED light bar layout. I bought it from a dealer in Spokane Valley so I assume it was compliant in the US as well as Canada. These tail lights are really no different in operation than the oval lights that you see on most trailers, but way more visible. The layout you speak of might be rules for commercial vehicle application?? |

True...Why advertise what's inside to the midnight supply crowd. Re: sleeping inside...you might want an extra lock hardware location...in the open position!! for clowns who might think it is funny to trap you inside!! |

Pretty much every DIY project I start ends up taking longer than expected... and there are a few that I don't yet know how many years they will have taken to complete.  |
