[QUOTE="Striper57, post: 505096, member: 16756"] Since you asked why trailer lights never seem to work... "Shortly after man invented the wheel, he invented the trailer. Ever since then, he has been trying to figure out how to hook up the lights." “I know a man who claims the lights on his boat trailer once worked twice consecutively. Anyone with one or more trailers will instantly recognize this as an outrageous claim, but the man is a member of the clergy, and for that reason alone I believe him. On the other hand, he’s also a fisherman, so he may be exaggerating a bit. Possibly his trailer lights worked only once consecutively." These are a few snippets from the late, great Patrick F. McManus on trailer lights. I paraphrase this every time I try the lights on any trailer I hook up. McManus was truly one of the greatest outdoor humor writers to ever put pen to paper and was what I always looked to in every Outdoor Life magazine I ever received. [/QUOTE]
