Marker Lights On 5th wheel
Marker light visibility.
When we lived on our boat, there were a few times when we came across tug boats towing barges. On several occasions the barge was some 600 ft behind the tug and neither the barge nor the tow cable had lights. Our radar saw the tug and usually saw the barge but not the tow cable. If the barge was less than 6 feet high, our radar wouldn't see it. Had it not been for a radio call from the tug captain, we would have run into the tow cable.
I have a similar concern with the 5th wheel trailer. The side marker lights are pretty small and if the center marker light fails the trailer is less visible.
Has anyone installed additional marker lights on the sides or under the trailer to make the trailer more noticeable at night.
