also, I probably should have mentioned in my detail description of first time firing up the hot water... before you do ANY of the things I described, make sure the anode is installed in the hot water heater. they are often removed for long term storage as this drains the water heater.

The problem NOW days, is No one stays "out" of your braking space. Used to work, not now. People cut into a "space" 2' longer than their vehicle.

Under the title "make your own mistakes, not mine", make sure you depressurize your water system before removing the anode. I was removing the anode last fall and forgot to depressurize the water system by opening a faucet. While removing the anode, it shot out of the water heater like a torpedo (fortunately the WH was cool and I was standing aside) and embedded itself in a dirt bank 8 feet away.

I have felt for a long time that there is a sign on the back of my trailer that says: "Please! Cut in front of me!"

Still, I say get them. I had to add them on later.

Aftermarket; I am not the one who would do the work.
Do I get my RV shop to add the additional brake lights at the top of the rear? I am not crazy about adding more holes. I want to make sure there are no leaks.
I almost always carry my bikes and a huge cover. I did buy the Escape rear view camera so there has to be wiring nearby.
Rv shop rate; $160 hr

You need to access the existing brake light wiring. Camera wiring will not include the brake line wire. Wiring runs up behind the vertical padded corners.

My 2022 E19 upper outside clearance lights also act as brake / turn signals, from the factory that way.
As your sig line states a 2022 Escape trailer, you may (should?) already have this function.
Somethiing weird with this post, or I can't find Jim Bennet's post on the lights before ebike1's response..........? Or maybe I need to go to sleep............

Not applicable for a 2022 ETI trailer as I commented in #90 above.

I was not clear. Sorry, I needed more sleep also !
I need more lights in that location … lower lights are completely covered by my bikes.
Would you have the Rv tech shop do that? Or a differesnt shop? I am nervous about the extra holes.
