Trailer maintenance help please

[jdmidwest]

I use heat shrink waterproof butt connectors on all splices.  LEDS, and best parts I can find.  Ground trailer to tow vehicle with wire, not just the ball.

Last major fail, mouse got in tube trailer and chewed up a run. Need to chain neighbors cat to fender. But have been dropping Just One Bite chunks all over.  Chipmunks and squirrels have become scarce too.

Have to try liquid tape thing.  Guess it helps with corrosion at connection?

Keeps the moisture out, probably better than shrink boot.

Knock on wood, I've not had any trailer light issues since I replaced my standard lights with LEDs. I also moved the ground wire from the swing away tongue back to the solid part of the frame. The only real issue I can recall ever having since getting my first boat back in 08 was blowing bulbs due to water getting in to the housing and hit a hot bulb.
