Old Trailer Fix Ups...
So I've had this trailer which we purchased three years ago. Roof doesn't leak, where we are we have no running water, power or cell service, and yes I love it! This is my isolation from the modern...

Did all the lights work before you changed them out ?
Take a simple 12 volt tester and check the power to the sockets.
Some time when working on these thing's a wire will come off a splice.
The socket terminals may be bent to far down to contact the lamp terminals. Good luck.:)
Volt meter reads 0 on all the lights (did not test the working one obviously) , the lights have never worked to my knowledge but then we never really tested things until last summer when i gott eh great deal on a boat and purchased a trolling motor, the rainy day made me experimental and I hooked up the battery to the trailer, found what was working what was not, thought burnt out lights, but now with the great deal on a solar panel kit (90$ for the whole kit and a solar charger etc) I figured it was worth it to try and get at least the two other lights in the line to work, I'd be happy if I could get the lights over the table to work so we could at least play at night without having the darkness overwhelm us!
So I'm thinking I may pull of just disconnect the old wiring, run a new wire along the top of my roof (inside) in a conduit and just reconnect the lights with a new wire, I am sure they would work, and if not I could purchase inexpensive set at the trailer shop to place and get to work. as I said I am pretty handy and not afraid to do the work if I get a firm idea of what to I need to do, I figure I could connect new wiring to the working light set and daisy chain them but only if that is the correct method to do it.
