The previous owner apparently broke the cable by bringing the slide in while the plug was connected. So, I don't know whether this is the original cable and jack or if he made it work with what he had. Does anyone have picture of the original plug and connector/jack for this light connection?
The one we have now appears to be a microphone jack and plug. I am sure it is rated for the minimal amperage that the two bulbs pull, but I am not sure it is original to the trailer.
Here's the end of the cable on the bed. Unfortunately the bed's in so getting the female connector is a little more difficult but let me know if you need it as well.
Update/Correction:
So, after a little more research . . .
This thing is not only 14 gauge wired 12V rated, but is indeed a "Bunk Light Adapter" capable of supporting two bulbs or a bulb and fan combo.
It turns out the only real problem was/is the scary looking wiring connection (done by the previous owner) in the second photo. Why it was cut so close to the plug is beyond me. I ordered one of the lights and will make a clean splice connection using that cord this time.
I am just getting around to fixing this permanently after the long winter. I was never able to find the stock connectors locally and I was afraid they would just get ripped off again without some improvement to the way it functions.
My solution was to buy a "bed fan/light" similar to this one. http://tweetys.com/images/products/d...58310_silo.jpg
I simply removed the properly rated cord from this fan/light for use with the slide bed light and the existing bunk light adapter that the previous owner installed.
Finished picture:
The slide now operates freely whether the stretchy cable is plugged in or not.
