What have I forgotten?

Post by Alacrity »

Just been making up a permanent waterproof LED lighting board for one of my trailers. Now what have I forgotten? :hmmm:

Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

I put waterproof led lights on my trailer so I can just reverse in without removing the board.

I read that the common 7 pin trailer socket is being phased out post 2012 as new (UK I assume) legislation comes in which says that all new trailers have to have a reversing light. Does anyone know anything about this?
