I am such an electrical novice, it's embarrassing!  :oops:

I have a new camper shell on my new F250.  I have installed a nice dome light and would like to have it switched from both inside the shell (fixture has a built-in toggle switch) and inside the truck.  I have a standard SPST relay, an inline 30 amp fuse holder and an on-off toggle switch on hand.  What would be the cleanest way to wire it up?  Is there a 12 volt constant somewhere in the trailer wiring that I could hook the relay to?  Then I could just run one wire to my switch in the cab.  Thanks for helping a newbie, I sure appreciate it!

you can find a constant 12+ at the trailer hitch plug. thats where i got mine for my back up lights. i think its either a white or red wire. but just test them to make sure.
