Wiring for an Aluma trailer?

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good safe way to wire your bike to pull an Aluma trailer? The trailer has a 5 wire flat plug. I would like to use some sort or relay system to prevent direct wiring into the ultra's harness. I used a piggyback that plugged between the main and rear harness and I can't get brakes on the left or right sides, only the third brake light mounted up high. The trailer has all led lights. I had normal running and turn signals but with the brakes, only the high mount will work. I tried an adapter/converter but they kept burning out. Since the harley has seperate turn signals it's difficult to get all the lights working properly on the trailer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The GW forum has a lot of folks running Aluma trailers.

To answer your question, you need a Hoppy 46255 isolator. J&P Cycle sells a an adapter with pigtail breakouts for the trailer wiring.
