WIRING DIAGRAM & COLOR CODE
All trailer lights must be in proper working order before towing.
There are two basic wire harness plugs that ShoreLand’r ®
uses for plugging the trailer lighting into the tow vehicle.
They are as follows:
A flat four plug that is used on either all trailers without brakes or
else on trailers that are equipped with drum brakes. This plug is
used in these applications because the only thing needing to be
connected to the tow vehicle are lights. A solenoid lock out system
is not required to operate drum brakes. The drum brakes have a
mechanism in them that prevents the brake shoes from contacting
the drums when the trailer is backed up.
The flat five plug is used on all trailers equipped with disc brakes.
Disc brakes operate as well in reverse as they do going forward.
This results in the trailer not being able to be backed up without the
use of a solenoid to block the brake fluid from activating the brakes.
The solenoid is activated by the extra blue wire in the flat five plug
that is attached to the backup lights of the tow vehicle. When the
tow vehicle is placed in reverse, the backup lights are activated
which then activates the solenoid diverting the brake fluid gener-
ated by the actuator back into the actuator reservoir causing the
brakes not to function in reverse.

RIMS
WHEEL SIZES
ShoreLand’r
® uses various size tires on different model trailers to accommodate the load that is being placed on the trailer. This results
in the use of different size and width of rims. ShoreLand’r ® recommends that you use only genuine replacement parts for spare tires.
However, should you need to purchase one elsewhere the following table lists information needed to purchase the right style rim to fit
your trailer.
All wheels used on ShoreLand’r ® trailers have a zero offset meaning that the center mounting face of the wheel is in the center
of the tire.
