Wiring Needed to Power Dump Trailer Directly From Truck Battery
Question:
Saw video on dump trailer battery charger using truck battery to replace dump trailer battery which doesnt hold charge longer than 3-5 dumps. Do you have wiring kit for truck to dump trailer? Does it work well? Price? Need info. Thanks

It sounds to me like you are wanting to power the dump trailer directly from your trucks battery. If this is the case you will want to start by making sure that the power draw for the lift would not overload the truck. If all looks good, you could use part # BDW20207 which is typically used to wire electric winches but would also work for this type of set-up.
The trailer and vehicle wiring kit includes 24 feet of 2 gauge double wire with quick connections. I've attached a video to assist.
If you are looking for a different type of set-up, please send me an email with detailed information and I will be happy to make another recommendation for you.
