Generator and Converter for Charging Trailer Battery
Question:
I am outfitting a trailer with a 12 v battery system using solar powered battery box. However, when the battery runs out, I would like to be able to use a generator to power the 12v electrical system and also charge the battery. What generator and components do I need to make this happen?

A generator like the etrailer generator part # 289-SUA2000i would be a great option for what you are looking for. You will need a converter to then plug into the generator and charge the batteries like the part # PD9280A and you'd have what you are looking for.
