So I know enough to figure this out. But I still want other people's opinions on it.
At what point do you use a powered converter for your light hook ups. However tiny my trailer I'm adding clearance lights on the top too for added safety. I'm going to have the dual element bulbs for the brakes, and 2 side markers on the front sides of the frame. Then up top I'm adding 2 more side makes on the front sides, 2 more dual element bulbs in the top corners on back, and a strip of 3 red marker lights in the top middle of the back. And a light for the license plate.
So I know it varies by car, but how much is too much strain on the lighting circuits, and you get one of those things that powers the lights straight off the battery?
I was thinking about wiring the interior light to the parking light circuit as well as the 12v inverter, and diode isolating them so that when the trailer isn't plugged into shore power but is hooked up to the car, I can turn the cars parking lights on and be able to turn the interior light on, powered off the car. In case I'm ever loading get or unloading it after dark.
I can probably get an led based light in the "oo shiny" section of autozone, that doesn't draw much extra current and I'll be fine, but I thought I'd get opinions anywho.
