Changes Since 2005 that Make Ironhorse Trailers Easier to Maintain
Rear I.D. Lights—The three single function LED marker lights on the rear of the top have been replaced by a single LED light bar with three functions. It provides the three D.O.T. marker lights any time the other marker lights are on, it signals left and right turns along with the regular turn signal lights, and it provides a high center brake light. As a side benefit, it requires only three potentially troublesome connections rather than the six connections the former I.D. lights required.
Improved Wiring—In the event there is ever a wiring problem with the newer flip top trailers, there is no longer any need to remove the tail light or crawl under the trailer to check the rear lights. The newer trailers have a small plastic junction box in each lower interior sidewall about six inches from each rear corner. The appropriate wires from each side of the wiring harness meet the wires from the corresponding rear corner marker and tail lights inside the junction box for that corner. The wires inside the box are strictly color coded and wire nuts are used for connectors.
Floors—The floors are much easier to keep looking good in the newer flip tops than in the older ones. Washing down a gelcoat floor is one heck of a lot easier than trying to scrub grease and tire marks off a painted wood floor.
