Parts Needed To Power Inside an Enclosed Trailer For Lighting and To Add A Compressor
Question:
Hello, I am looking to install power in my Enclosed trailer. I am wanting to be able to tie in some LED light strips that can be turned on and off by a switch. I am also wanting to be able to use my pancake air compressor for tiers and blowing off equipment. I also want to be able to tie in my electric jack. I want to know what would be the best set up for me to have power, been looking online and no one gives a straight answer.

First you will need to decide if you wish to keep everything 12 volt powered or if you also wish to run 120 volt power in your enclosed trailer.
For 12 volt you will need to install Lights # ILL72CB which can be powered by a Light Switch # 37213575. We also have the Viair Heavy Duty Onboard Air Compressor with 2.5 Gallon Tank # VA56WR which will allow you to air up your tires when needed. Depending on the amount of use when disconnected will determine the amount of Batteries # BRW34FR you will need to run. You can also add a Power Converter # 34266167 which will allow you to plug into 120 volt to charge the batteries and run the 12 volt power when plugged in. Since your jack is going to be 12 volt you will be able to wire to the tongue jack as well.
If you wish to also run 120 volt instead of the Converter listed above you will want the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger # 34280055. This will allow you to power 120 volt accessories off your battery with a built in 2,000 watt inverter. When plugged into 120 volt it will charge your battery like the converter listed above. Depending on your trailer ad where you want power you will need to source the wiring along with any 120 volt lighting and switches locally.
If you have any additional specific questions for power requirements I will need to know what all you plan to power and information on the entire setup.
