Thanks for that, Michael!
That one is a bit newer than our one but gives me a bit of an idea of what it may be worth down the track...
Just saving up now for a coupla new tyres and looking at fitting new lights...speaking of, are you running LED lights on yours?
Yep, LED stop/tail and indicator lights, something like these:

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265356105280?hash=item3dc874d640:g:-EwAAOSwGMlhY~FuThe stop/tail and indicator lights are wired-up to the bike and operate as trailer lights normally operate.
All the others are wired separately to a battery (thanks Garry), in a battery box (d'oh!) in the trailer. These are switched (and fused) to operate independently of each other and the bike.
The battery is charged at home before I leave, and topped-up as I ride. It lasted for two nights bush camping (before the Mudgee RTE earlier this year) and then with intermittent use over the next two weeks.
The flashing amber hazard lights are very bright. On the way to Mudgee, at a pit stop in the middle of nowwhere, I stopped on a crest, and switched on the hazards, a couple of guys on sports bike stopped to see if I needed assistance, they said they could see the hazards from the previous crest around 2km back.
The battery box is like one of these:
