Was planning on a walleye trip to Oneida tomorrow.  Once again trailer lights not working.  Chewed in inaccessible places.  Happens almost every year because trailer is stored outside.  Any preventative suggestions when rewiring would be appreciated.

Tube frame or older channel type? Really doesn't matter, I guess. I would pick up some electrical conduit from a big box store. It's flexible enough to go around a bend and you can glue on fittings to do just about anything with it. Run your wiring through that.

Rodents are attracted to the plastic wire covering because it contains urea so covering it somehow with either conduit as suggested or perhaps spraying it with something noxious like WD40 or electrical cleaner spray might inhibit them

Every day, for the last 3 years, I take a piss by my outboard when I get home.  I have a long commute...no rodent issues so far!

Found a braided sleeve for wiring online that is supposed to be rodent resistant.  Costs about $1 a foot.  May give it a try.
