2017 297RSTS tail light wiring
I have changed the tail lights to new LED style with back up lights. Does the trailer harness go all the way back, and is the back-up wire contained in the harness? If so, what is the color? Please advise.

Will be interesting to see what you learn. My money is riding on the fact the standard taillights on our trailers don't have the backup light, and our trailers don't have wiring harnesses (every wire individually, carefully and lovingly hand run) ... there isn't a wire, you'll need to run it yourself from the umbilical junction box back. We'll see!

I really don't think there is a backup wire in my Solitude.

On my 2015 Reflection 27RL, the wire in the umbilical cord for backup lights is Yellow. It goes into the junction box under the pinbox and stops!
I put backup lights on a previous trailer, not a Grand Design. The backup light wire (yellow) in the umbilical cord was stubbed off in the junction box. I ran a wire from the junction box along the frame to the rear of the trailer. I attached a ground wire to the frame at the rear of the trailer. I attached the lights to the trailer hitch frame. Worked great!Charlie & Jenny

If I get motivated enough to swap out my taillight assemblies for those with LEDs, might be something I do as it could come in handy. I live on a street with a cul-de-sac, rather pull the tight u-turn with maximum scuffing of the tires, I back in the trailer from the connecting street when loading and unloading from each trip. So far, my neighbors hunker down and shelter in place when they see me coming!
