I mounted a 5000lb winch on my trailer with less than $20.00 of steel . Found what I needed in their scrap pile .

What model DC to DC charger did you use?

Hi, I have a horse trailer. Can I run a two 12v fan for the horses, interior light & accessories ( like usb for charge cellphone) with that method?

This will maintain the battery and keep it charged while your plugged in to the tow vehicle. You can use the battery for whatever you need it for but keep in mind, it will drain down if it doesn't get charged regularly.

Wouldn’t getting rid of the breakaway battery and using the trailer battery simplify things and clean up the tongue? Unless your trailer is new those breakaway batteries typically only last a few years anyway so it might have been bad at the time of this video. Just throwing and idea out there. Thanks for the video brother!

Ill be honest, that never crossed my mind. When it needs replaced, that might be a good way to go. Thanks for the idea!

Why are you using a dc to dc charger? Surely a split charge relay on the vehicle side should be enough?

It will monitor and charge the Aux battery separate of the vehicle battery and will maintain the 14v needed to properly charge the trailer battery. One year later, it still functions properly and I've never taken this battery off the trailer.
