1987 Franklin camper trailer Tom 5-31-09  
I went from a 4 prong to a 7 prong, the 4 prong was burnt. I have replaced lights and wiring with a trailer light kit. I have all my lights but brake lights and the lights are dim. any suggestions. I would also like a wiring diagram for this trailer.

There is no wiring diagram for this unit. Most RV wiring is this way. RV lights are lower power bulbs trhan auto bulbs, they can look dimmer because they are in a way. Most dim lights are caused by poor grounds, check the trailer to car ground and light to chassis ground on the trailer. Finally you didn't tell us what you are pulling with, do you need a signal and brake light combiner box? I got a whole pile in the back room. Most current vehicals seperate brake and signal lights, trailers combine the functions. Good Luck

Bubba the bus tech. i am pulling the camper with a 2002 ford f150.i is equipt with the factory tow package.the only lights i dont have now are stop lights but i do have juice at the truck connector.i have tried changing my grounds,i completely replaced the wires for the front to the back on the camper with a trailer light/wiring kit to the diagram that came with the lights.still no stop lights.i have been three days on this and i am starting to wonder if i should just get a slow moving triangle to put on the back and forget the lights.ha ha.thanks for your info & time.
