Re: Lessons Learned

Scott,

The plug is already attached to one of the new corners and the wiring is already broken out to a terminal strip. The only thing to do to make it work is to connect between the plug and the terminal strip.

If we added two more plugs to the other new corner we could then use whichever old corners we like and power from the new corners.

We have another compatible plug to add into a module somewhere, I think
that it is possible that Ed has this but will see his response. All we
need to do is wire it in to a corner or a straight module and then have
the ability to use a different corner module. A new set of corners will
also fix this, not that we are going to add 2 corners more to the
trailer but retire two if we did.

WE should add the wiring of this to the list of projects to tackle.
