    Trouble wireing clearance lights?

    I can't figure this out:confused: Got everything wired up, new LED trailer tail lights work great - brake, running lights, blinkers, all good. Then I go to add these LED clearance lights... Snap them in place, hook up the single black wire to the brown running light wire, turn on the lights...

    Propane or Electricity?

    Let's see if I can make this a quick and easy question... My rough calculations tell me I am paying about $.125 kW for electricity and my best estimate for LP in my area is right about $2.40ish/gallon (at the moment). I am mainly thinking about my hot water heater and cloths dryer. So, I'm...
