here are a few to look at.

Bill,
That is why I mentioned the trailer receptacle earlier. On both my Prevost coaches the toad plug wiring had relays for each circuit (brake, park, turn signals) and the bus lights powered the relays which switched power from the 12 volt post.
You are correct in that it can likely handle the load. You may wish to follow your circuits however to make sure everything in there is sized to handle the extra load. You could have insufficient wire size, a circuit breaker or relay of inadequate size or you could have relays limited to the amperage you pull for the lights. You would not want to need a fast stop and then find the trailer brakes won't work because you tripped a breaker, or worse started cooking some wires. I can speak authoritatively about how ugly it gets when your Prevost is burning.
