We do not have any wiring diagrams that have all of the things you mentioned. Basically all of those accessories would need to run to the 12 volt accessory circuit of your trailer wiring so it would be a matter of running that circuit to all of them. The easiest way to do that would be with a junction box like the # HS381-9000 which would give you the ability to run all of the circuits to the same post using ring terminals that are included. You'd then want to run the ground of each accessory either back to the ground terminal of the box or to the trailer frame.
