Right on RISY. My 99 F250 fires up those 2 lamps in our 32' SnoPro Trailer (Thule) only when the truck is running or at least the key is turned on (not accy). It is probably a good idea or there would be many dead batts.

DC, I am in Moultonborough. If you need help with trailer wiring (or 12V in general), PM me and I will help you out. I used to do it for a living, now it is just fun.
