I just bought a trailer light kit and the wire it came with isn't really co=
pper.

Is there any benefit to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire over straight alumi=
num? Because from what I've experienced, it's just a way of tricking people=
 into buying something they wouldn't have bought if they knew what they wer=
e really getting.

The copper layer is so thin, I can't imagine it being OK to use in connecto=
rs made for copper wire, and it doesn't solder unless it's really fresh wir=
e and you don't heat it for longer than a second. And I wouldn't trust it.
