over the last couple of weeks id been working to eliminate the Magnetic Lights i was temporarily using for dinghy brake/running lights.

wasnt easy - theres are plenty of issues w/ the factory integrated jeep harness like -
non standard plug and color wiring, not ENOUGH wiring/cable to comfortably reach the coach (and still be able to make turns.

I hacked the factor jeep harness/plug added some length to it and put a more standard trailer plug under the front bumper on the drivers side (jeep would have you put their plug IN the grill on the passenger side)...everything is better disguised this way & i can still go back to jeep/factory wiring or buy a coach to dinghy cord at just about any trailer parts or RV store.

Since i had to make my own safety chains (needed a little more than 6 feet) I OVER BUILT and used Grade 70 chain and clevis latch hooks.

I can hook pick up and drop the jeep in less than a minute now.
