Bargman Wiring - Trailer Connectors - 54006-057 Review Video

If your trailer has 7 wires running all the way back to the brakes, then yes, you can tap into the existing wiring. Each of your new brakes will have two wires for the brake magnet. One wire is for 12 volt power to the brake magnets and the other…

You will want to use a marine battery in addition to the Hopkins Engager #20400 because you want a dedicated battery for your breakaway brake function. If your marine battery was depleted and the pin pulled for the breakaway system then this means…

Both the CTEK US 0.8 Universal Battery Charger with Pulse Maintenance part #CTEK56865 and the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer part #BRW54FR would work well for this application. I prefer the solar option as it wouldn't require…
