Take to the selling dealer is the easiest fix. You likely have a short in your trailer wiring or even one of the lights. Finding the short will resolve your problem. I know of one that was the bar light rear center of the trailer that was the culprit As far as the bunk board……..remove the bolt and try some sort of wood epoxy and redrill the hole. Reinsert bolts. Sounds like those bolts were already bottomed out and when you went to tighten you stripped.

Service will be glad to work with you and larger or 1/2″ longer lag bolts are the option. The lags might not work and the length room might not be enough, which would mean we would be glad to replace the bunks. If the bunks are solid on the forward cross member bunk supports then your fine for now, not good though not a real problem. There are four cross members and two are within about a foot for rear support. The back one drops down about a 1/2″ also which makes that rear tail support pull down and increased pressure on those rear lags. The wire issue is probably the rear light bar crimped into the Brown wire between the frame and light bar SS metal strap. It also could be a Wesbar clearance lit crimped on a Brown wire where they are bolted with a 1/4″ stud, through the fender. Thus if you have replaced a clearance light anytime recent check those if they are Wesbar. BCB
