On my fifth wheel I mounted flood lights about 6ft in front of the wheels. I like seeing where the wheels are going and the flood lights lite the whole area behind on both sides.

It’s easy. , mount your lights on the back. Run a hot wire back from your junction box on the trailer to one of the lights.Run a jumper across to the other light(hot side of light) . Hook up both ground wires for each light.NOW back at the trailers junction box located somewhere in front of the trailer,open it up and you should see a YELLOW wire taped off or with a wire connector on it and hooked to nothing. Hook up your hot wire you ran to this yellow wire. Your finished,once you plug your 7 pin connector into your tow vehicle you should have back up lights.The yellow wire is the back up from your imbliical cord.

Another option is an RV porch light with a switch. I mounted one just under the tail light and wired it to the running light circuit. Granted you need to exit the vehicle to turn it on. But it works great.
