What trailer electrical connector required?
I have a Class I (1 1/4 inch) receiver hitch on my Liftback. I have used it to carry a bike rack.
I would like to pull my kayak on a small trailer. Total weight will be about 300lbs. What type of electrical connector would be required to connect the rear wiring to the trailer? What type of electrical 'isolator' might be needed? I have seen Corolla connectors, etc. I know that Toyota says not to pull trailer...but tongue weight would not exceed 30 lbs (10% weight pulled). I do not carry rear passengers. |

Here's an example of one that came up on a quick google (this kit even includes the tap splices): http://www.etrailer.com/pc-ELEAF~118...utm_medium=ppc |

The harnesses I have found seem to need a direct power lead from the battery rather than tapping into the 12VDC at the rear. I would rather not have to feed a power wire all the way from the engine to the rear. Is this really required or can I get by with a module which gets its power from the rear wiring. My trailer has low power bulbs.
