Good morning!

I need advice/help please :-)

I want to purchase a small trailer that I can haul bales of hay in, not more than 3-4 at a time, at most. I understand electrical is different, what do I need to do? How difficult is it to change the electrical on a trailer so it is compatible?

Is there a write up somewhere that I can follow? i searched and cannot locate anything. I have a great mechanic who will help, if needed.

Thank you in advance!!

You can get this> Land Rover Trailer Wiring Kit (Part # 9439C)
etrailer.com sells kits as well.

 

That kit noted above is simple plug in and mount and is easiest option. If you want to save a $100, buy a $15 "taillight wiring converter " from Walmart, Amazon, Autozone, etc.

These kits, like the Reese 74209, are spliced into the truck harness at the plug mentioned in the video above. Imports have different turn signal /brake lights than North American vehicles and must be converted with these kits. The plug in kit above is a converter with a factory (expensive) plug attached to it(no splicing needed).

These come with a flat 4way trailer plug which is designed for the smaller trailers and exactly what you need if your trailer has lights.

 

Thank you!

 

Why not just throw them in the back seat/cargo area? The only hay that's ever been worth hauling in a trailer with my discos has been round bales! Figure you can haul a single 800-1200lb round bale in a 20/day uhaul trailer.

 

I've done that, too messy and impossible to clean. I buy 4 at a time and 1. Cannot fit 4 and 2. Not making two trips. Its my daily driver and I'd like to keep Old Blue looking nice :-)
