How To Power a 12 Volt Cooler Off a Trailer Battery

Question:

I have one of these Hopkins HM47675 that I use with my truck, Works great to power a 12 cooler while in the bed of the truck. Wondering if you sell a similar item that would allow me to power the same cooler from the trailer side connection?

For powering your 12 volt cooler of the trailer battery you will want to install a 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 directly to the battery. There is not a connector like the Hopkins # HM47675 which can connect to a trailer side 7-way and give you a 12-volt outlet. The trailer connector will typically have a resistor or charger which will prevent the power from going back through the connector.
