You can buy everything you will need right here at etrailer. We have numerous interior and exterior light options from incandescent to LED bulbs.
I have included links to our selections of interior and exterior lights. There are numerous options depending on what you will need.
Charging the battery should be done with a battery charger using AC shore power. The 12 volt circuit in a trailer connector can only maintain the charge level of the battery but it cannot charge it up. I recommend CTEK battery charger # CTEK56353. This charger is expert tested by several of us here and we all have had excellent results charging everything from lawn mower batteries to vehicle batteries. I have linked a video review of this charger for you.
