Lights always on, even if it's just the parking lights. My rear camera warns me when the lights are not on. It doesn't work!

Every time I hook up. Pull out and manually hit the control.

If you do jack up the trailer, DO NOT put the jack under the axles! Lift it by the frame or the spring mounts on the axles. As Ray-IN said, don't leave the pin pulled any longer than necessary. Lift one side and pull the pin and test. Replace the pin and do the other side the same way.

This may be the skylight you need. https://www.icondirect.com/rv-skylight-sl1422/ I would not used Eternabond tape though. It is almost impossible to remove if you ever need to. I don't know the quality of the Camco sealant, but you can get Dicor or Alpha Systems sealants. Clean as much of the...

NOT on inverted flare fittings.

Brake fluid if hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture. Not only does the moisture effect braking performance, it also causes problems with calipers, master cylinders and anti-lock systems.

Check on the frame near the battery. Most have one for the main power to the trailer. Some have a second one for accessories like the jack. These may be auto reset or have a button on them to reset it. Trace the wire and see where it leads.

And not just slap on the wrist. Since it was on federal land, it should be considered a felony.

But that would mean the parents would actually have to raise their kids the right way and not turn a blind eye to what they do. Just look at what happens in a store. Kids running wild in the aisles, or running the streets looking to get into trouble. When's the last time you heard of a parent...
