622 Trailer issue fixed
I love my 622 trailer but one thing that I do not like is there are no lights in the trailer. So at night when trying to locate something it is pretty difficult to dig around and hold a flash light. I thought about connecting into the trailer wiring to hook up a few lights but I decided I wanted something that was independent of being hooked up to the Spyder. I have come up with this solution.

The 622 Trailer Lighting kit comes with the following:
1 - 12v DC 4500MAH Rechargable Li-ion battery with charger
1 - 4 plug octopus cable
4 - White LED Strips
Here is the result:

there are 2 LED strips in the back compartment and 2 LED strips in the front compartment. The battery pack has a switch on it to power it off and on.

That's pretty neat, how do you switch them on and off?

Need for sure. I'm always hunting around in my trailer for something in the dark and half the time I can't find my flashlight

That's pretty cool. I hate fishing in the dark for something buried in the RT622... "yes dear I'll find it".
How do you attach the lights to the RT622?

Does the switch glow in the dark or does one need a flashlight to locate the switch to turn on the lights?

I was just wondering how to secure the battery pack so it would be easy to get to and find the switch.

Yes. 2 for the front of the trailer and 2 for the back. Of course you can place then anywhere you would like.

Switch does not glow but once you place it is it pretty easy to find.

I'm glad Bob didn't notice I missed the obvious... That is a good solution for sure.

Yes, I did notice that. Just curious if anybody else is making a kit like this. I might just make my own.
