Here is an alternative to "how we have always done it".  Instead of wiring my new tow vehicle for lights, I have chosen to use a wireless system.  

The system is designed to attach to the roof with 100 lb magnets.  I wanted the lights mounted closer to where the vehicle taillights are.  I am utilizing a bike rack that I added a flat crossbar to mount the light to.  This allows me to use the bike rack tilt back feature when I want to open the rear cargo door.  

The lighting system comes with a transmitter that plugs into the light port at the rear of your coach.  The transmitter is said to be able to communicate with the light up to a thousand feet.   The 22" led light shows taillights, stop lights, turn signals left & right as well as hazard lights.  The lights are leds that are quite bright.  You also get a 12V cigarette style battery charger to recharge the battery. 

I have spoken with two people using the system and both reported no shortcomings or problems.  Both said they will never wire up a tow vehicle again.
