Sounds like you are looking for a Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. This can pull power from two sources to put a safe charge on the auxiliary batter of the trailer. This specific charger is for trailer batteries that are rated between 75 and 200 amp-hours. If your trailer battery has a higher rating over 200 amp hours you'd instead want the part # 331-BCDC1240D.
