Most likely your trailer uses combination stop-turn signals, the Vanagon has
separate brake lights-turn signals. You will either need a converter of some
type or add another set of lights. All the connections can be made near the
left tail light.

Subject: Trailer wiring tips?

Hello all. I have a small utility trailer and finally got a receiver hitch
installed and am now looking at my least favorite part - electrons!

Any tips or suggestions to wire things up? It looks like I'll have to split
into the wire bundle sheath to find and splice into the brake and turn
signals. My trailer light kit has the little blue splice  connectors and
wire to run back to the black box.

Suggestions are appreciated.
