The LED strip lights can be cut to length and connected or terminated. Every 3rd light should have a connector "pad".
You can solder or get a bag or two of these.

I have the heat strip in my Coleman Mach III AC, and it works pretty good. If you are trying to bring trailer temp up from 30f to 72f, it takes 15min or so. Then it cycles heat on and off and works OK but fan runs constantly, noisy but warm. I also have a LP catalytic heater.

It really works! Best when real cold outside. Run on low all night, almost too much heat, but nice when you need it. I don't have an alarm yet, but need one that picks up CO and LP. May have to use separate alarms.
That trailer of yours has a ton of potential and with the skills you have building buggys, it could be amazing. IMHO bathrooms are priceless, kitchens less so. A refrig. is great, and micro's are handy and maybe a lp burner for coffee etc. but we tend to eat at bars and such or BBQ outside.
Good Luck on this project. I'll be watching.

Something like this should work, or is there a better option?

I'm using these switches on my lights. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291654319555?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
