Original Member Title: Identifying wiring in a mystery teardrop
This AI-generated summary may contain inaccuracies. Please refer to the full thread for complete details.
A new teardrop owner found unsafe and confusing wiring in a homebuilt trailer, including an indoor two-wire extension cord used for power entry, no ground, and damaged wires where they passed through sharp exterior metal. After testing, the owner identified the interior and exterior lights as low-voltage circuits, while members noted the trailer appeared to mix 120V shore-power style parts with 12V lighting, possibly from leftover trailer harness wire or a previous 12V power setup.

Consider shortening the bolt tips just enough to allow the use of cap nuts. That way the exposed tip of the screw that will no longer have corrosion protection will be completely covered by the nice round dome of the cap nut.
