Guys, I know some folks will poo poo this strategy on trailers but what I do I hook up the brake and driving lights and don't mess with turn signals. Typically I'm driving in a far more cautious state of mind and also, the turn signals can usually be seen over/around the trailer. This is really easy to wire and is simplifies things. I use the 4 contact flat connector and wire the van so it'll work any trailer with dual filament bulbs.
