12 volt power for 4 pin / LED bulds

Has anyone ordered LED replacement interior lights for a scamp (13 but I'd assume they are all the same) from someone other than scamp?

I'd like to get one that is a night light (red) and low power and I figured it's some version of a generic plug.




My scamp 13 has a round 7 pin trailer plug. I got this adapter for my straight 4 pin and the trailer lights work just fine.

I was thinking I could run a heavy gauge wire for 12 volt power for the fridge direct from the battery to the blue and/or yellow wire.

Is that a terrible idea for some reason that a marginal weekend diy electrician might not know?

The blue wire is for the trailer brakes , the yellow is for back up lights. Neither wire may be of a large enough size to handle the refrigerator running on 12 VDC.
If you want to run your refrigerator off your tow vehicle , I would run a fused #10 AWG wire from your tow vehicle battery to your converter and then to your refrigerator with an isolation relay in the circuit.
