Hook up trailer light receptacle on back of travel trailer?

Okay so here is the deal I recently took my trailer into a weld shop and they welded up a receiver hitch for me on the back of my travel trailer to pull another trailer behind my TT. Anyway would anyone know about how i could go about wiring up a receptacle for the back of my travel trailer? Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest that you use led lights (don't draw as much power) on the trailer your pulling behind your 5er.

    As said, just pick up a trailer wiring kit at Walmart, etc., and connect it to your existing trailer wiring.

    I presume you're aware that many states do not permit towing two trailers, and some states only allow it if the first trailer is a 5'ver.

    1. Go to wal-mart or any auto supply store and purchase the connecter you need - seven or six or four pin.
    2. mount it to the bumper or hitch
    3. wire it into the trailer wiring
    4. OR take the trailer to any auto shop and have it done
