Well, it's kinda my mobile shop... :-) I've got an enclosed trailer that I'd like to setup with a winch, 12V power, etc. I'd been assuming that I'd just put one or two deep cycle big 12V batteries i

For the second part of your question, I have seen male 110v plugs for block heaters on semi's hidden behind small door flaps. You should be able to find these at truck supply house. Jim

the twelve volt stuff isn't hard. I'd install a battery isolator in the truck charging circuit (actually a big ol honkin heatsink with two diodes) that prevent your trailer from draining your truck

Mark, I ran a similar setup on a camping trailer for several years, it worked well enough. You'll want be sure the wire from the truck alternator to the trailer connection, and from there to the tra

Hrm. I'd _really_ rather leave the truck wiring side of this alone. Mostly just because its all already wired of course... How much current / how big a wire do I need for the power wire to the trail

Another source for a good battery isolator is from a company called HellRoaring Technologies (yeah, I know "great" name - see their website for the history). Their web address is http://www.hellroari

Here in the UK the standard for this sort of thing is called a 'split charge relay', which only connects the aux. battery to the tow vehicle's electrical system if the vehicle voltage is above someth
