I am new to camping and so I don't know how I would plug this into my new trailer. I have two 12 volt batteries that are attached by a cable but where do I plug everything in. thanks.

Do you have the set up yet? When you do have, the instructions are very clear. They show the wires coming from the panel to the controller, a red and black wire. from the controller they go to the battery. This too is clearly marked. The wires that attach to your battery need a connector. If you still have trouble connect me again and I will give you my husbands email so he can walk you through it.

You need to determine if its 24 vdc or 12 vex. If its wired both pos. And both neg. Together its 12 vdc in parallel. If its wired straight though from one battery to the next pos. To neg its 24. You hook the pos. From your battery to the pos on the controller terminal with pic of the battery. And neg like wise. That should be it.

You connect the panel to the batteries via the the charge controller. It will come with simple to read instructions.

There should be a negative and positive terminal where you can put a wire in and clamp it as seen in the picture near the bottom corner the two terminals. You'll need to take a 9V battery and get one of those connectors where it connects to both of the battery's leads and turns them into a red and black wire. Put those wires into the terminals respectively and it should be powered

Carol it runs better with real good 12 volt voltage. I ran off of the twelve volt motor that lifts the trailer up and down. I ran it to a standard 120 plug. It looks like it is 120 but it is only 12 volts from the pump I pot a regular cord that plugs in. I marked it so I plug it in the same way each time. I think the pump will run back wards if you reverse the power. That should give you a good start. Have fun and your welcome

the control is a two way switch on the jack. You have to wire it to the trailer battery. There is a hot lead to connect to the battery and the ground is made when you bolt the jack to the frame. I tried putting a trailer plug pigtail on the hot lead and did not work. *Side note* I found when I was using the jack under the power of the battery alone it was kinda slow but when I plugged in my 7 pin trailer cord into the truck it ran much faster.

I just use an adaptor plug for my trailer and plug into the house 110V. There several outlets but the generator is in storage just know so I can't go look. The adaptor would work fine unless you are planning to run some serious AC in the trailer.

I bought a 12 volt battery for an atv/motorcycle. I bought two small alligator clips( red and black) and attached them to the ends of the wire. Then just clip red to + terminal and black to - terminal. I don't submerge mine in the water so I had to adapt an intake hose. You'll need to suck on the output hose until the water gets through the pump. You'll need a small 12 volt charger for your battery. Not expensive, think mine was about $17. Hooking it up to computer power supply is probably not the best idea.

This is not one of those that plug into the cigarette lighter. This should be wired directly to the battery. For best results, use heavy cables like on a good set of jumper cables, but shorter (up to 3 feet). Such cables are available separately. As for running the engine, I think that is best. Otherwise, your battery will be used up soon.

I have the same setup on my travel trailer - two Trojan 6 volt in series, for 12 volts total. Just took it camping this weekend, with no hookups and went 3 days without having to run a generator. We used a small laptop, our house water pump, fridge, and furnace ran all three nights as well. Something to keep in mind is that all of my lights have been switched to led, and it was only slightly cloudy for us. I never bothered to check my actual voltage, but my stock wall meter was typically at 1/2 to 3/4 in the a.m., and full by sunset.Hope this helps

Two different ways. It comes with alligator clips like the ones on jumper cables. Red to positive, black to negative. If you want a permanent connection, it also has a cable that you can connect the same way by unscrewing the battery cables and installing it to the positive and negative battery posts. The electric plug goes into any a/c plug that you have nearby or a good safe extension cord. Once connected, you will see a yellow light on the main unit and it turns green when the battery is fully charged. It comes on automatically when the voltage drops to 12 volts and charges the battery to full charge which is usually 13.2 volts on a fresh battery. Two different ways.

There is a small plug under the knob (keypad side) for backup battery box and cable jumper (both included) to plug in. Please keep four AAA batteries in the backup battery box "outside" for emergency - if you decide to IGNORE the "battery low warning!" Please visit our website for more FAQ

You need to connected to a 12 volt battery and is very important to use at least no. 4 cable to be sure the stuffs you connect runs well. Is too big for a car lighter but work.

The simplest way to use this anywhere (while camping or in the home) may be to get a "Jump starter" device that is pretty much a small 12V battery in a housing with jumper cables, a lighter outlet, and more. There are several brands of those available, but they are all pretty much the same thing (do a search for jump starter here on Amazon). This needs over 10 amps power to start it and ~6 to run, so a car battery charger would be the only thing close enough to a "power supply" that plugs into a house outlet that could run it. I don't think running a charger without a battery is a good idea, so that's why I suggest the "jump start" battery.

Great question...You can actually hook this up to a 9 volt battery, (maybe when camping), and it use that to charge the devices...Great product, I have one...Love it...I hope this was helpful...http://amzn.to/1Fk67FU

I hooked it up to the extra headlight wire that was taped up. You do not need to run a big power cord from the battery. Just find a power wire in the area.

extremely easy. One wire to positive side of battery. The Ground is the chassis of trailer, so only one wire to hook up.

I just plug mine in the night before a trip, it has a green flashing light that tells you it's charging and when complete. Just like a drill battery. It's easy as heck to install too. The only complaint from me is when I buy something called a portable printer, I expect it to all ready have a battery unit in it.

When I plug my trailer into a generator it works fine. If you were running the generator directly to the unit them you might have to take some precautions as to the correct wiring....hope that helps.
