- 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

- The wire doesn't _have_ to be big, it's just that using a small wire will greatly slow the charging of the trailer battery. Perhaps that's not an issue for you. Lets try some off-the-cuff numbers. J

- 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
