I was following a motorhome the other day, towing a trailer with a small 4wd on the trailer. Nothing unusual until he braked, not only did the trailer lights come on but also the brake lights on the 4wd on the trailer.
Has anyone seen this before (maybe I just haven't been paying attention and it is normal). Seems like a good idea because the 4wd lights are up high & right in your face.

Yeah?? Must be a new remote control,wireless contraption that hasn't been made public yet, or else the owner/driver is a NASA techo. Then again he may just plug in the trailer brake lights to a aux. plug on the vehicle being towed to activate them. Good idea though.

Probably had one on his kids sitting in the trailed vehicle stamping on the brakes every time the motor home brake lights came on! Cheaper and technically simple!

Is that what the little bugger was doing sitting in the 4wd.
