Converter/Panel for Enclosed Trailer to Charge Battery and Power AC Lights
Question:
I have a 1996 28 Hallmark enclosed car trailer that Im remodeling inside. When I bought it the only thing it had for power was a deep cycle battery that would operate the DC lights inside. The trailer also had some AC lights installed along with a couple of AC plug ins. I have an inverter generator. How and what do I need to include this to operate my lights and battery charger and ac tools if necessary? What components do I need buy. I would also like to charge my trailer battery through my trailer plug if possible. How will I need to wire the AC receptacles into my system? How will the battery be wired for DC.

Expert Reply:
There may have be a converter panel/charger that was installed in the trailer that was used to charge the battery and provide the power source for the AC lights etc. I'm surprised it was removed from the trailer but for a replacement you could use the # PD4135K.
You'd run your 12 volt trailer wiring circuit to the panel which would connect to the trailer battery and it would get a charge when connected to your tow vehicle.
