Add taillights to camper?

Mine already has lights. It, like yours, is made to work on either a long or short bed, but the little tool boxes that can only be installed when it is on a short bed truck have tail lights on the back, and plug into the camper, so that it doesn't have to run sans lights.

I did not have the same issue of the lamp not seen from certain angles as you do, but for years a long time ago, I ran my 8' pop-up within the 8 bed with no exterior light sources at all. I did not mind because it was a pop-up and I had clearance lights on the truck front. Perhaps not exactly legal to the full extent of the law, but I had the functioning important ones operable.

Maybe you could do the same route as I described above for my current TC... Then by hitting the factory plug on the camper then the running lamps will work too.

I did not want to mess with trying to hit the truck loom somewhere in the middle when I knew exactly what line is which on the flat-4.

I am actually tapping the flat-4 but running a patch cord up to the round 7 in the bed instead.

Thanks! That was the plan - wasn't sure if anyone had done that before.
